key verses ==> 1:8-9, 1:12-13, 1:25, 1:27-29, 1:30-31
i really want to thank God for helping me and giving me the dicipline to start this quiet time nd spiritual journal. now its honestly one of the only things i look forward to everyday here in OCS. today's quiet time speaks quite alot to me. it really seems that the past few days God has been adressing areas and issues in my life that He wants me to change. i guess it may be a good thing because the more He adresses and askes me to change, the more i can become like Him. but of course it all comes down to my personal willingness to change. Today is no different, there are areas in my life that i feel that i have to change and i feel that God is telling me to change through today's quiet time.
in verses 8-9, it says so clearly that God is faithful and that He was the one that brought us to Him. this greatly encourages me because once again it tlls me that God is in control of everything. For that i am truely thankful because now i know that God has always been there pulling me through and will continue pulling me through.
verses 12-13 tells me that we should not look at other christians from other deniminations as though they are from a different religion for at the end of the day we still worship and serve the same God. therefore we should not look at each other any differently.
in verse 25, i am once again humbed and reminded that God is the one that is all powerful and almighty. for even His greatest weakness is stronger than our greaest strength, His wisdom in its simlest form surpasses our understanding. I am rminded and brought back to what i have learnt a few days back, about how God knows what is best for us and what will hppen. i am yet once again reminded that i do not know anything compared to Him but most importantly God is telling me to be Humble! i know that i have a huge pride issue, especially now that i am in OCS , i tend to think that i at least did something good and that i am worthy of some "recognition" but here God reminds me once again that all raise and honour should go to Him for it was Himalone that is all powerful and almighty.i am truely humbled by God tonight as i do my quiet time.
this lesson leads to verses 27-29, but more than that i feel that God is telling me to watch myself in my actions towads others as well as my judgements to them. for who am i to judge when judgement belongs to God?
finally in verses 30-31, i just want to say that these two verses really encourage me. because i really needed to hear this. that it was because God chose me. but this verse like the past two sets of key versesremind me again taht i have to give all the glory to God, to make my boast in Christ! today God has challenged me to glorfy Him and that i will.
Lesson of the day:
be humble in all things and boast only in Christ our Lord!
