To you, servant of God, know that every position God gives you is first a test. And that test is of the heart. Will you do His work with a sincere heart or for selfish ambitions, even without a superior supervisor? Man will never know your intentions for whatever you do, but God sees your motives.
Just put your trust in God always. In a relationship, build your bond with Jesus. In your field of education, build your career on Jesus. Let Him be the firm foundation of your life – not your certificate, degree, connections or people’s promises. He alone has the entire plan for your life. And He’s too good to lead you astray. Hope in Him.
You can entrust the fullness of whatsoever is in your heart unto the Lord. Because it’s only Him who has assured you that He’ll never leave nor forsake you And because of that assurance, He is faithful always to you.
God knows how fallen this world is. So because of that, He doesn’t expect us to trust people but Him.
Between the time God speaks about the fulfilment of something and the time it gets fully manifested, there’s always a gap. And that is where patience and trust get highly tested.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV)
[6] Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, [7] casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Fret not when you see challenges opposed to your calling. The Lord will perfect everything that concerns you. He will work things out for your good. In all your ways, submit to Him.
God cares so much about you. And He knows how far His name will reach if He elevates you. So that dream you have isn’t a nuisance to Him. He has captured it, and if it’s part of His plan for your life, He will surely take you there. Don’t be afraid. Keep moving forward in faith.
There’s no assurance that anything earthly you put your hope in won’t fail you. God is your security against shame, not your parents, job, family or connections. He is the ancient of days. He knows how to take care of you in unimaginable ways. Don’t lose hope in Him.
Love shares without any fear of loss. Desire and work on transparency in your relationships, especially in marriage. Be accountable to each other so that the devil will not suggest evil thoughts of mistrust in your partner’s mind.
Jesus didn’t entrust Himself to anyone because He knew what was in man (ref. John 2:24-25). What can you learn from this as a leader in Christ? See your value by how God sees it, not by what people say of you.
Don’t let your heart deceive you. Don’t submit to your changing emotions to make decisions today. You might regret it tomorrow. Rely on divine wisdom to navigate your life. It’s for your good.
