Careful in handling success

Today, I am reminded that we should be careful how we handle success God gives us. It is sometimes easier to handle poverty or weakness than wealth or strength. Poverty causes us to recognize our need for God. Prosperity persuades us that we no longer require Him. Like Samson, he was the strongest person alive, but he forgot that his strength came from God. Once God removed his strength, Samson was reduced to a pitiful slave. Also like Saul, he was the first king of Israel, yet when God removed His spirit from this proud monarch, he became a paranoid, petty man, seeking counsel from the occult. It reminds us to be very careful how we handle success God gives us. As we enjoy His blessings in our family, our business, or our ministry, we should keep in mind that we are instrument in the hands of the Master.

Team devotion

I woke up at 6:30am when my alarm went off. I set it up again at 7am and went back to sleep. The alarm went off and I had to wake up even though I was still very sleepy. I need to do something and I need to attend our team devotion. I took all my dry laundry out and folded them. Then prepared my breakfast and took a bath. Then I was reading my devotional while eating.

At 8:30 am, we started our team devotion. We talked about how God blesses His people when they only depend on Him. God wants us to totally depend on Him. He did not say that we should only depend on Him great for things but even the tiniest concerns in our lives. We should acknowledge that apart from him we cant do anything.

My day

I started my day with my devotional. Galatians 6:2 ” Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” When God places people in our lives who are in need, He is aware of what they lack, and He knows He has given us the resources to meet those needs. God does nothing by accident. Recognizing a need in someone’s life can be one of the greatest invitations from God we will ever experience. It’s so easy to become frustrated by the problems of others. They can overwhelm us as we become aware of need after need. If God is blessing us materially or strong healthy family and other aspects of life. It may be that He has been purposely building things in our lives so that we can now be the kind of person who will carry the burdens of others. By doing so we will fulfill the law of Christ. i am blessed that I found people that invest their effort to make me feel at home here. I really thank God for them.

After reading the bible and my devotional book, I was able to chat with my sister and friends in facebook. In the middle of our chatting, J got me because we had an emergency staff meeting. It was a very short notice so I hurriedly prepared and went out. We were all in the living room table. There were just some important things needed to be discussed. It was just a short meeting.
