How would you feel if one day you walked into your place of work, and was told that you were replaced by someone else? That would not be a good experience.
Kathleen Elkins in her article entitled: "Experts predict robots will take over 30% of our jobs by 2025 - and white-color jobs aren't immune" writes this: "Many people fear a jobless future — and their anxiety is not unwarranted: Gartner, an information technology research and advisory firm, predicts that one-third of jobs will be replaced by software, robots, and smart machines by 2025."

How does God feel when we step ahead of Him, and try to be self-sufficient? We won't believe that God in His time, and in His way, will provide for the things we need. The Apostle Paul was confident when he wrote: "And my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
There's no reason why we shouldn't place ourselves in a position to receive the blessings of God. But for us to step ahead of Him, and try to do His job for Him, will be very disappointing for us. And the reason is, that quite frankly, we won't be able to do it.
The Psalmist says: "Be still", stop trying to do it all. Get out of God's way, and watch Him work. It may not be overnight, but He will provide (at the right times) what we need. God is faithful, and His faithfulness will cause Him to be exalted in all the earth. GP
