Today, i happened to listen to a short sermon by pastor benny ho.. And it's really good! He was talking about favour... And there are so many so many truths in his short message, but off hand, i can only remember this one thing very clearly now: Humility..
He was saying, humility is about knowing your place.. If you're an employee, be an employee and not try to be the boss. Wives, stop trying to fulfil the husband's role.. Children, stop trying to be the parents.. the people in the bible who experienced the Lords favour knew clearly their place - Esther served the King, Ruth submitted to Naomi..
And yet, when you're talking about favour... Hmm, well for me i always felt that it's a very thin line between favour and over confidence / pride.. I find that sometimes when things really keep going my way, i tend to steal some credit for it and forget that it's really the grace of the Lord.. And yet, today i learn that the line between favour and pride is not thin at all... in fact, favour has to do with the opposite: Humility... I find it interesting. On one hand, u need to be humble and know your place and serve who u shd serve... on the other hand, u need to be bold and confident of and ask the Lord for the favour... Haha, seems like i'm talking and rambling on? Well, perhaps the thoughts are not fully processed yet... but i suddenly feel like, hey... having humility is really important! It doesn't just keep u safe, it gets you through... It is not something that is good to have; it is something that is necessary to really fulfil what the Lord called you to be... To fulfil your fullest potential...
Alright, that's all for now.. It's time to sleep... Tomorrow, it's back to work, after 4 days away for holiday! haha, really can't adjust! But, Remember, have a Spirit of Excellence! God blesses excellence! hahahaa.
psssst. I'm hungryyyyyyyyy.......... :)
