BE HUMBLE

God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5
The eyes of LORD" is a theme running throughout Scripture. Take, for example, the familiar words of 2 Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him."
Obviously, God doesn't have physical eyes; God is spirit. He doesn't need physical eyes, because He's also omniscient. Nothing escapes His notice.
He's aware of all things. But though He's aware of everything, He's also searching for something in particular, something that acts like a magnet to capture His attention and invite His active involvement. God is decisively drawn to humility.
The person who is humble is the one who draws God's attention, and in this sense, drawing His attention means also attracting His grace — His unmerited kindness.
Think about that: There's something you can do to attract more of God's gracious, underserved, supernatural strength and assistance!
What a promise! Contrary to popular and false belief, it's not "those who help themselves" whom God helps; it's those who humble themselves.
This is the promise of humility. God is personally and providentially supportive of the humble. And the grace He extends to the humble is indescribably rich.
As Jonathan Edwards wrote, "The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world."
We want to position ourselves to receive and experience those exquisite pleasures.
Why don't you make it your goal to pursue the virtue of humility and therefore attract God's attention and favour?
Prayer: Thank You, Father, for Your grace to be humble.
Scriptural Reading: 1 Peter 5:5-11

DON'T PUT YOUR TRUST IN MAN

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118:8-9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. The electrical power of a hotel was interrupted resulting in the elevator stopping between floors with passengers aboard.
One of the passengers on the elevator began to beat on the door and to shout for the people in the hallway above to do something quickly to get him out.
One of the people in the hallway attempted to calm the stranded passenger with the assurance that help would soon arrive. He shouted, 'The hotel has a generator system to back up the power.

The maintenance man will soon have power restored to the building and the elevator will be opened.' Then the anxious passenger shouted back, "But I am the maintenance man!"
Sometimes we trust in people to solve our problems when the people themselves are trapped in their own problems.
On the outward, they may appear very competent and capable but in private, they could just be people of straw who are incapable of solving their own problems.
God desires that we trust Him totally in all areas of our lives. Yes, we will have to deal with people in all human activities but we must not make them the object of our trust and hope.
Even though people can have the best intentions for us, we must always remember that they are just humans and limited in what they can do for us.
We express our confidence in the Lord by:
• Going to Him in prayer constantly
• Believing His promises without wavering Trusting in His timing and purposes
Prayer: O Lord, in you alone I put my trust, for my help comes from you alone.
Scriptural Reading: Psalm 118:1-9

SHOW GRATITUDE

Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:21
A hospital chaplain kept a record of some 2,000 patients whom he had visited at a hospital. All of these patients who were at the point of death were very responsive to the word of God.
Among those restored to health, he observed that only two showed a marked change in their spiritual lives after their recovery.
In other words, when these people thought they would die, they accepted the Word of God and prayed for His healing grace.
But when they recovered, they forgot about God. That is how we can be sometimes. We cry out to God. He answers our prayers.
Then we forget about Him. We rejoice in the blessing so much that we forget the one who blessed us.
We delight so much in the gift we forget the giver. But the giver is more important than the gift. And nothing hinders our blessing more than ingratitude.
The point is, we need to put as much zeal in thanking God for what He has done for us as we put into pleading with Him when we are in need.
In the Gospel of Luke, we read the story of the ten lepers who came to Jesus and pleaded for His mercy. The Lord instructed them to go and show themselves to the priests. As they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.
The Bible says only one of them returned to Jesus to give thanks. Then Jesus asked, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Of the ten, only one came to give glory and praise to God.
What would you think of a person who always come to you for assistance, but never offer a word of thanks in return?
Is there anything in your life that you need to give thanks for? Count your blessings and thanks to God.
Prayer: Father, forgive me for my lack of gratitude.

LEARN TO THRIVE IN EVERY SEASON

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1
To really enjoy life, you must know how to handle time and the different seasons that you will go through. Change is constant in life.
Every day, week, month and year introduces new things in your life. You will not be on a constant high; neither will you be on a constant low. There will be seasons of dryness and seasons of fruitfulness.
Each season has its purpose and works to make you appreciate God's grace towards you in different situations. When you are up, He is there with you and when you are down, He also stays with you. Place the seasons of your life in God's hands.
Ask God to transform your attitudes and bring positive results out of negative situations as you travel through life's seasons.
Rely on God's unchanging power in the midst of changes you experience in all aspects of your life.
Rather than battling the season you currently find yourself in, ask God what He wants you to learn from it, and trust Him to give you the encouragement and strength you need. Know that, while life is unpredictable, your faith in God will always stand. Use your time wisely.
Regularly remind yourself of how fragile and fleeting life on earth can be, and that every day is a gift from God. Don't fall into the traps of being lazy or too driven, missing out on God's best for you.
Ask God to give you wisdom to use your time each day as He would like you to use it, according to His purposes for your life.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You that wherever I am, You are there with me; help me to trust You daily.
Scriptural Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
