Isaiah 65:21-22

"They will build houses and inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. "They will not build and another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat; For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.




What do you think of others taking advantage of us. What angers me the most, is one other get the credit for the work I have put in nights of effort, but others are honored. It has happened many times in my organization.

Tell me what should be my outlook in the Lord.

Genesis 31

Jacob was not daunted. He took care of his uncle's flocks and herds
and used all his wits and skill to increase his own flocks. He put
stripped sticks in the water troughs of the strongest and best of the
flock at mating time. (He didn't want to breed the weak, small ones for
his own flocks.)

He believed that if the animals saw spots and stripes
at that time, it would influence the lambs and kids they bore. The
efficacy of this primitive method genetic engineering is questionable,
but anyway, God blessed Jacob's hard work and he prospered.


In spite of Laban's efforts to deceive and cheat him, Jacob's
wealth increased. Laban changed his wages 10 times. When the flocks
began to bear speckled young, Laban said that only the streaked young
would be Jacob's. When they bore streaked young, then Laban changed his
mind and said that the spotted ones would belong to Jacob. (31:4-12)
But Jacob's flocks increased anyway.


Jacob had worked hard for Laban for 20 years. He was a faithful
shepherd. He cared for the flocks day and night, in cold weather and in
the blazing sun.

The sheep and goats did not miscarry, but bore healthy
young. He spent many sleepless nights watching over the flock. Jacob
took personal responsibility for the animals that were killed or
injured by wild beasts. He knew, however, that his success was due
primarily to God's blessing. (31:38-42)

What do you think the verse below says. I really don't want to be negative, but need some meaningful answers to my situation.

Taken from.
66 Bible verses about Sowing And Reaping

Jeremiah 12:13


"They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns, They have strained themselves to no profit. But be ashamed of your harvest Because of the fierce anger of the LORD."


Haggai 1:6


"You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes."


Job 31:7-8

"If my step has turned from the way, Or my heart followed my eyes, Or if any spot has stuck to my hands, Let me sow and another eat, And let my crops be uprooted.


Micah 6:15


"You will sow but you will not reap. You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil; And the grapes, but you will not drink wine.

I really need answers here. Please provide.
What exactly are you looking for? To make a long story short, those verses are about leaving your work to another in death. Look around you at the abundance we have, and yet we die.

Actually in my organization, in spite of giving all. I am never honored, others sitting right to me are honored. Even a simple thing like a birthday party introduction of new comers, my name is never there.
