The LORD
is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. Lamentations 3:25
A
middle-aged polygamous man was saddled with the impossible chore of pleasing
his two wives.
One of the wives was old and the other was young. Each of the wives
claimed to love him very much and desired to make him look as they liked.
Now the
man's hair was turning grey, which the young wife did not like, as it made him
look too old for her husband.
So every
night, when she combed his hair, she would pick out the grey hairs from his
head.
The
elder wife on the other hand loved to see the husband's grey hair because it
made him look his age and she did not like to appear older than her husband.
So every
morning, when she combed the hair of her husband, she would take out as many
black hairs as possible from his head.
With
each wife 'lovingly' trying to turn the husband into the kind of man they
liked, the husband soon found himself completely bald.
The
lesson is simple. If you accept everybody's view of who you are supposed to be,
you will end up losing what you have. You will become 'bald'.
There
are many people with good intentions for you but in the end, you must seek the
intentions of God.
Don't just
live your life on the advice of friends and loved ones. Go to the scriptures
and find out the ways of God.
Spend
time in prayer to find out what the Lord wants you to do. Nurture your own walk
with God so that you can hear His voice when He speaks to you.
Seek the
Lord with all your heart and you will find His will for your life.
Prayer:
Lord, I desire that my life be lived for your glory and purpose.
