This could be your test to build trust with God before receiving more. Practice with maximum effort in all that you do!Build your muscle memory with small opportunities before the dream opportunity arrives. Working solely for money decreases your chances of producing great effort in opportunities that could lead you to more significant opportunities. Work to achieve with a genuine heart. Trust where God has you currently. Look to him for advice, strength, and courage to press forward during tough times. Where you start is not where you’ll finish if you have the right mindset.
