Key Verses => 14:22-23, 14:14
what an irony! today i was made the CPC of platoon 2 and needless to say, though it has only been half a day, i'm tired beyond words. but i thank God that the first thing he reminded me of today was 2 Samuel 23:34 to lead with the fear of the Lord in my heart. i really pray that through these 2 weeks i will indeed lead in the fear of the Lord and i will lead seeking to find the favor of God. not that of my platoon or even my instructors for that matter. today's lesson is pretty short.
in verse 14, i learnt of how we should look out for our family, just like how Abraham gathered His men and went to save his nephew Lot without a moment's hesitaion. i feel that this doesnt only apply to our flesh and blood family but to all our brothers and sisters in Christ! we have to support them and help them in their times of troubles and needs.
In verse 22-23, we seehw abraham was so intent on giving the glorty to God that he would not even accept the slightest gift from the king so that the king would not be able to saythat he made Abraham rich. but i feel that the lesson is not that we should not accept things from others so wecan give glory to Godbut rather to hat extent do we go to to ensure that all the glory goes to God. that there wont even be a fraction of doubt that it was God that pulled us through or that it is God that deserves all the glory and honour. to what extent would we go? i pray that i will go all the way, to deny myself all praise and all recognition and say that it really is God that is doing His work through me
Lesson of the day:
help all around you without hesitation and give all glory and honour to God!
