My key observation is simple: more money goes to what is making money. Once you notice the pattern, you see it everywhere.

A strong example is the prevalence of new work trucks on the roads. These trucks, such as the base model F-350s priced at around $50,000, often surpass the value of personal vehicles owned by many. They’re not for leisure but for business purposes, symbolizing the principle that more money goes to what is making money. The contrast is interesting to me—people typically desire to own a more expensive vehicle, while companies prioritize keeping expenses at a minimum. 

Everyday Evidence

Where the Flow Shows Up:

• Work Trucks
  Brand-new F-350s—often $50 k or more are tools that earn money, so companies justify the expense.
• Office Cleaning vs. Home Cleaning
  Commercial spaces hire cleaners more often than most households.
• Serious Runners’ Shoes
  Competitive runners upgrade to the newest shoes every season.
• City vs. Country Roads
  Urban streets get fresh asphalt sooner than rural lanes.
• Active vs. Sedentary Bodies
  The bodies that move stay healthier.
• Student Groups
  Clubs meeting multiple times a week develop deeper friendships.
• Running Water vs. Stagnant Water
  Flowing streams stay clear; ponds turn icky.

People are paid according to the value they provide to the marketplace. It requires work and action to be someone providing value to others; you can’t do so by doing nothing. You have to constantly be making things happen. 

Be Where the Work Is

This reminds me of when I was young and on the job site. My dad would repeatedly tell me, “Be where the work is at.” He wanted me to stand next to the action. Even if I didn’t have a specific role at that moment, me being physically close to the task was more beneficial for the group. It put me in a position where I could be of help.

This observation seems really simple. Resources are allocated where they are expected to yield the most return. Investment, maintenance, and activity lead to more favorable outcomes, with attention focusing on areas of greatest need. However, I’m trying to take these observations and uncover the eternal principles involved. After all, God’s invisible qualities are seen through his visible creation (Romans 1:20). Proverbs 13:4 describes this principle well, as does the parable of talents in Matthew 25:14-30. The servants who put the money to work were rewarded and the one who did nothing with the money was punished.

Proverbs 13:4

The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

The River

I want to understand and embody this ‘flow’ in a spiritual context. Ezekiel 47:1-12 and Revelation 22:1-2 describe a life-giving river. With each measure, the river gets deeper and deeper until it’s deep enough to swim in. Life abounds wherever the water flows. When something or someone is deep in a river, it becomes under the influence of the river, or in other words, controlled by its flow.

Life abounds wherever the water flows.

My desire is to immerse myself in this divine current, allowing God’s influence to pervade every area of my life. As my heart follows what I value most (Matthew 6:21), I will invest my time, money, attention, and energy into my relationship with Him. Coming into greater relationship with God positions me in His flow.


I see Luke 10:27 and Romans 12:11 as the epitome of what it means to be spiritually active. Love God with your entire being and enthusiastically serve Him to align your life in the abundance of His spiritual flow.
