“In the
day of prosperity be joyful,
but in the day of adversity consider that
God has made the one as well as the other,
so that man will not find out anything that
will be after him.”
Ecclesiastes 7: 14
I have found
that God has a new assignment each and every day set out for me and in last
week I had to come to terms with “acceptance.”
I was really busy and we are preparing for “payroll close” at the
office.
God has been
teaching me to deal with a new challenge each day or even more than one
day. “Acceptance” is a challenge I have
been struggling with for a number of years and I have been pushing every button
I know in trying to make things happen.
In reflection
of what happened last week I have come to realize that by “accepting” my life
and just relaxing my hold things started to give.
I don’t want
to go into detail on that but God sure knows how to deal with me each and every
day. It isn’t possible for me to predict the future and to know what tomorrow
brings, I am allowed to dream but I cannot foretell what tomorrow will bring.
Prayer
O LORD in
accepting my life and circumstances I believe You are now able to work in my
life. Each day it is my desire to grow spiritually and I dedicate my life into
Your hands. Help me move forward and teach me a new attribute each day. Lord as
Reinhold Niebuhr said I too pray “God grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom
to know the difference.” Holy Spirit come into my life and guides me and helps
me in Jesus Christs name. Amen
