Here's something we can all agree upon ~ now days the word "derivative" has most definitely taken on a very negative connotation. But I say that's not fair! After all, mankind has been "deriving" since the days of Adam & Eve by occasionally having a transformational thought; forming an idea about how to turn (evolve) something into something else thereby creating even greater worth.
For example, starting with God's personally created (i.e. derived) grape (Genesis 1 - which He thought and spoke into existence), an idea was later formed by man to turn that grape into grape juice, then into fermented wine, then into a vineyard business operation, and ultimately into a publicly-traded wine production & distribution company. Each derivation improved upon the overall value of what the grape offered for mankind's enjoyment. So just as God thought into creation our universe's raw materials, man in His created image can envision something new (e.g., products, services, systems, etc) by transforming from what already exists. 
So the next time you feel "lacking", just stop and think - you're just a thought away from finding your success. The key is to rely on what He has already given you ~ an ability to ask for His blessing and then think and act yourself into a "state of plenty". He truly can give you that transforming idea to act upon in lieu of looking to others like employers and government officials to find your success. Just confidently ask and be expectantly ready to recieve!"Let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming the work that we do. Oh, yes. Affirm the work that we do!" (Ps. 90:17)CAUTION: One of the biggest threats to our faith in God is the idea that He is sure to lead us to success.
