Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.

| Hosea 6:4-6 King James Version (KJV) 4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:4-6 Expanded Bible (EXB)
4 The LORD says, “•Israel [L Ephraim; 4:17], what should I do with you? Judah, what should I do with you? Your faithfulness is like a morning mist, like the dew that goes away early in the day. 5 I have •warned you [L cut you into pieces; hewn you] by my prophets that I will kill you with •my words [L the words of my mouth]. My •justice [judgment] comes out like •bright light [or the morning dawn]. 6 I •want [desire; delight in] •faithful love [mercy; lovingkindness] •more than I want animal sacrifices [L and not sacrifice]. I want •people to know me [the knowledge of God] more than I want burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17].

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
4 Ephraim was the largest portion of Israel the northern kingdom. God saw there sin and that they were not willing to turn to Him after punishment and more punishment, they just kept looking else where than turning to the Lord. They served God when it benefited them and not any other time, when do we choose to serve God, all the time or when it best benefits us, we should all the time.
5 The prophets brought word of what would happen if they did not turn to the Lord the scriptures give us a warning for us if we choose our will instead of the Lord’s. Some of the prophets would be killed because of the words they spread. God’s word can both give life and bring judgment.
6 God wanted them to sacrifice because they loved Him. God does not want us to just serve Him without love, He wants us to serve Him because of our love for Him.
