Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour. (Romans 13:5-7)
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. (Proverbs 19:15)
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do. (Acts 15:35-36)
Constraints lead to creativity and conscientiousness. A man I know went to prison and made a decision to better himself. Because of the limitation on his freedom he worked harder and achieved more and having been released is now a highly successful and respected member of society. We can be frustrated when we are being held back, but such a problem can be an opportunity for a solution.
Pray for the Holy Spirit, to transform every situation with divine creativity.
