- If you receive your livelihood in a way/ from a person that you’re not happy about. Your job should account for your talents and character.

Chapter 4. You don’t know when or how your sustenance is coming. Bitter well. Sweet spring. What if you struggle financially? Faith. Acceptance. His precision.
Chapter 4. The quest for honor. The attachment of honor and wealth. Using our talents for our livelihood. Overworking in the attempt of money. Neglecting your service of Gd. Staying in gratitude. Your job. Your inheritance. It’s all Gd.
Chapter 4. The test of wealth. Like a king. Many mouths to feed. 3 mistakes many make. 1- how you make the money. 2- you think all the money you make is for you (it’s for you, others, guarding). 3- you don’t safeguard the money that isn’t meant for you.
Chapter 4. We desire more than we need. Most of us go after more than we need. You need to work for as much as you need, not more. If Gd wants you to have more, He’ll get it to you, without you working more. The result is peace of mind and tranquility of the soul. What’s coming for you is coming.
Chapter 4. What if you’re not successful? Perhaps you have sustenance. Perhaps your job is not aligned with you or with Gd. In health. Honor the world. Do things that should bring health. In both acknowledge and rely on Gd. We have no idea about how anything comes to be. And still work with nature.
Chapter 4. You are obligated to set yourself up for success - in health, shelter, mental health. And to stay conscious that it is all Gd. Plow your field. Some real life real time strengthening the faith muscle 😂. Thank Gd for your skills. Don’t obsess over your job / industry / business. You are a conduit. Humble yourself.
Chapter 4. What does faith look like in my human experience. All things putting yourself in danger.
Chapter 4. What does faith actually look like in different areas of my life. In body - foundational belief that all is precisely as it should be, setting yourself up for success - doing what you understand to be good for you, not neglecting.
