Regret is a slow and silent killer, a cancer of the soul

We can either go through a situation or grow through a situation, the choice is ours. Joseph is an excellent example to emulate (Genesis 37~50)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be born old and fragile but with all the wisdom you will need for life and to grow younger and more energetic as you progress through life and when you die you are like a child, carefree and happy? To start life wise and end it having used all the wisdom and knowledge for good.

We often think we know what is best forus and then we plan and order our lives from this knowledge. God, however, knows the end from the beginning, He is the all ­wise One and He alone knows the future. We can spare ourselves so much sorrow and heartache, often, by going to God first and waiting on Him in prayer and waiting for His timing and plan to unfold, giving Him glory because He has a good plan for all of us.

The praise of man brings with it three snares: pride, false security and addiction. Taking the glory unto self and not acknowledging God, relying on what I can do and entrenching a false sense of self worth and getting addicted to more praise. The praise of God is real and everlasting.

When we submit to God, when we call upon His Name and give Him the glory as we trust Him, we can rest assured that God will give us the victory. When we obey God’s instructions, we will succeed. Obedience is key to success.
