Key Verses --> 13: 8-9, 13: 11-13, 13: 14-16
Somehow i feel that God knows my worries and fears here in OCS, for the past few days God has constantly been reminding me of His promises and how He is always faithful to them. like how in verse 14-16 God promised and gave to abam all the land. another point in tha verse is how God bleses those who are faithful and walk closely with Him. that being said, it isnt meant to say that God only blesses those that walk closely with Him with material wealth, He can bless them in many other ways. like with and even stronger walk with Him, or with a family that cares for the person, or by using the person to bring others to Christ. such blessings i would much rather have than material blessings. i guess especially in he area of relationships, friends as well as the special someone that God has planned for me. Even though i do not know as of yet who that is, i guess i have to follow God and let Him bless me with that special person. I will wait on Him and let Him do His will in my life! i have already dedicated my life to Him and i will follow EVEN IF i do not have a partner planned for me.
In verse 8-9 the bible tells us about how Abram is selfless in his givings, to the extent of letting his friend Lot choose where he wants to go. i believe that this whole attitude comes from walking close to God. As we alk close to God, we indeed become more like Him! as such i believe that it was mainly because Abram walked so close to God that He had that much love for his friend Lot. reason being that the choice to let Lot choose where he wanted first is a very big decision. in verse 2 it tells us that Abram was rich in terms of livestock. Therefore, going to a less fertile place would mean that he may be unable to support his herd. but yet he allowed Lot to decide where to go first, even at the risk of losing part of his herd.
finally, in verses 11-13, God told me that sometimes the way that lookes nicest isn't always the best way, once again i am reminded that God always has the best plans in store for us. knowing that really comforts me but above that, it humbles me for 2 reasons.
1. who am i to have anyone pan anything for me? let alone the best for me? but still God did! despite me hurting Him by sinning time and time again.
2. who am i to decide whats best for my life when i know nothing compared to the wisdom of God?
truely i am humbled and amazed. once again i cannot help but dedicate my life to God
Lesson for the day: God keeps His promises and has th best in store for us
