You Are Wealthy & Others Know It

You Are Indeed Wealthy!
Ezekiel 27
18 ” ‘Damascus, because of your many products and great wealth of goods, did business with you in wine from Helbon and wool from Zahar. [comfort, entertainment]
19 ” ‘Danites and Greeks from Uzal bought your merchandise; they exchanged wrought iron, cassia and calamus for your wares. [construction]
20 ” ‘Dedan traded in saddle blankets with you. [transportation]
21 ” ‘Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats. [meat, food]
22 ” ‘The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices and precious stones, and gold. [adornment, luxury]
23 ” ‘Haran, Canneh and Eden and merchants of Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad traded with you.
24 In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted. [clothing, decorations]
25 ” ‘The ships of Tarshish serve as carriers [agents, servants, conduits, connections] for your wares. You are filled with heavy cargo in the heart of the sea.
This is the thought:why do you think people come at you like mosquitoes on bare skin? Know your strengths. Know your advantages. Know your worth. Know your value. Know your price. Know enough not to settle for less! In this world, many are those who seek the very things – your wealth of knowledge, experience, compassion, joy, understanding, inspiration, strength, guidance – that you offer. For what you have, there are those would gladly feed, clothe, house, protect, entertain, adorn, carry and serve you. So, what you have already serves you. Focus on what you bring. Focus on what you can do. Focus on what you can become. Focus on what you have purposed yourself to do. Focus on these things about you, and you must succeed.
