Amazed!
I was counting my blessings one day, then some bad news came across my path & I started complaining. I reminded myself of the Israelites who celebrated victoriously when they overcame the enemy & then complaining the next moment when they felt they were in lack. The only reason why they were in lack were because they were looking at their own pair of hands & said that “It is impossible”. Indeed, “It is impossible with man, but with GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!”.
I just heard some great news of how a sister who had to provide for her family by faith started tithing this year & has not failed to see how God has blessed her abundantly in her job. I was complaining about not getting a promotion for the longest time but was reminded that getting a promotion 2 years into a new career choice – that’s a feat by itself, considering that one of those years was when my company was undergoing a promotion freeze. Indeed, I’m amazed!
I’m amazed by how the Holy Spirit has been stirring within me a burden to pray for various people in the unit for the past month or so. Indeed, He knows my weakness & He wakes me up without fail at 5+ or 6am to pray for them. I’ve now become more of a morning person & much less of a day person……correction….actually, I’ve been more of a morning person (waking up earlier) but still being more productive in the day, compared to at night.
Actually, I’m amazed at the energy I’ve got for work, ministry & family. Thank God for His providence of rest when I needed it, a mind that’s set & focused when I need to be so that I can accomplish much more. I’m thankful I can influence my little nephew, although I don’t spend as much time with him as I’d like to, but he does respond very well to me teaching him to play the guitar (of course he’s playing his toy guitar), teaching him some christian songs, telling him bible stories etc. I’m praying that he’ll grow up to be a good influence in the entire family to bring his parents & his grandparents (yes, that’s my parents) to church!
I’m only young once, although not as young anymore, but I want to live a life that’s impactful & enriching to others regardless of what I do, think or say & I pray that I may finish the race victoriously in Christ. Thank God for helping me through some difficult periods in my life of decision making. I’m so thankful for Your guidance & providence!
