Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 10:12-18.
Memory verse: We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with the some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12 (NIV)
Last week, I drove into a fuel station for a refill. My car has a fuel tank capacity of about 60 litres. While the pump attendant filled my tank, a motorcyclist also rode in to the second pump. Before I knew it, the motorcycle was full and the rider rode off while I was still at the pump.
I got in before the motorcyclist but he left before me. It suddenly occurred to me that it would be absolutely silly of me to think “I got here before him. How come he is leaving before me?” Why? The capacity of our fuel tanks isn’t the same.
The truth is there are times in life when we are stucked at the pump of Divinity. Those who came in behind us have gone ahead of us; those who learnt from you seem to have outran you. Your juniors some years back are now your classmate due to some challenges. Those who graduated years after you are now the ones calling the shot and it seems as though you are stucked. Don’t pry into other people’s journey in life. With God, we shall all get to the peak of our destiny. Time and chance happens to them all!
Action word: Focus On Your Journey In Life.
Prayer points:
- I bind every spirit of distraction, in the name of Jesus.
- Satanic distraction on my journey in purpose, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.
- I receive grace to keep my focus on my own lane in the journey of life, in the name of Jesus.
