REFLECTIONS 🙄

He has “done me well”!
Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of the Lord
Maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it

He has “done me well” means God has blessed me.

Among humans it is expected that every good or favor done is reciprocated. This is not too much to ask. Or?

The verse above says the blessings of the Lord makes one rich and it requires no unreasonable conditions.

Matthew 11:28-30

Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

God makes no unreasonable demands on us in order to receive His blessings. Sometimes we even disobey and stray from Him but He still blesses us.

It is not so with some deities. If what we see in movies are true then for some of these principalities and powers they ask for human sacrifices, animal sacrifices etc in exchange for riches, health etc.

Our Heavenly Father makes no unreasonable demands. All He requires from us are:
– To accept the gift of salvation (John 3:16)
– To be completely faithful to Him ( Revelations 2:10)
– To trust Him completely ( Proverbs 3:5-6)

As students, workers and ambassadors of Christ, we need to take note of the above mentioned requirements. When we fulfill them then we can excel in all we do.

That is not to say, there will be no challenges. The bible says in Psalm 35:19 that

Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all.
Through the afflictions and challenges God will still bless you abundantly. He will “do you well”
God be with you

Suggestions for success
