My first week at work was a blast. There were so many things that I learned. I learned to persevere through difficulties... I learned to engage with people from different age groups... I learned to be patient... Trust me, there were so many more things I learned, but by the time I finished everything that I have learned, you would have already been bored. :D But I really thank God for all the blessings He blessed me with. I was also given an opportunity to tutor a school mate. I thank God for giving me the knowledge and perseverance in managing my work, school and tutoring...
Anyway, lets get on with other topics... I came across this verse in Habakkuk 1:13. It says "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?" Isn't this verse just an amazing rebuke to each of us? There are many times in our lives when we feel so afraid of what other people might say about us when we stand up for what is right, so we just stay silent. God has reminded me in this verse not to hide my lamp under a bowl, but instead let the light on my lamp shine upon others who is in the dark. There is a saying that "If you can't beat them, join them..." maybe the problem is we should change this mentality. Instead we should say that.. if you can't beat them and you know that they are doing something wrong, never join them... Instead pray for them, for GOD to open up their hearts and minds and lead them to what is right. Share GOD's love to others.
God loves you,
abimere
