Over the past week, there had been many challenges came. Some I have conquered. But there are some that I can’t go over with, Having said that, I paused for a moment and ask myself, “Why is this happening again?”
As the new week start, we want to prepare ourselves so that whatever challenges may come, we are able to fight it.
Here are some of the things that I learned:
- Check your heart.
As we do things, whether it is at work, church or some personal stuffs, let us remember why we are doing things and to whom we are doing it for. These questions might help us to think about our motives and inspiration: Does these things come out of your passion or out of obligation? Are we pleasing God? Pleasing ourselves? Or pleasing other people.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
Colossians 3:23 New International Version
2. Recharge & renew yourself.
In facing any type of challenges, we should have enough strength to carry on these things. Where do we get our strength?
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 English Standard Version (ESV)
29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:29-31 English Standard Version (ESV)
I hope and pray that you’ll be able to succeed the challenges you are about to face this coming week. Always be reminded that God is with you, just hold onto Him. He is the source of your strength. God bless us all.
