Genesis 24 vs. 12 –
this is a clear attitude of selflessness. Abraham’s servant prayed for his
master, that God should show kindness to his master, Abraham. This kind of
attitude is worthy of emulation, I think! No wonder Apostle Paul in the Book of
1 Timothy 2:1-2, enjoined us to pray for our leaders and those in authority. When
we pray for them, God hears and answers us faster, the way He did for Abraham’s
servant and still in the same 1 Timothy 2:3, we were told that it’s good and
acceptable in the sight of God. Then in vs.63 of Genesis 24, the attitude of
meditating is considered. Meditation is a powerful tool in our daily Christian
life, which can help us to get closer to God. When you go deeper with Him,
thinking through his words every day by day, you’re rest assured He would lead
and guide you through every challenge of the day. That is what He expects from
us, to always recognize Him as the Author and Finisher of our fate. He’s ever
ready to put us through but let’s bear in mind that God should be sought always
in our lives and not only when we have challenges.
Psalms 8; vs. 9 – the attitude of being thankful. The Psalmist
has said it all in this passage for today. We owe God thanks always, apart from
making us in His very image, He made us a little lower than the angels and in
addition gave us dominion over every of His creations; whoa! God I thank you so
dearly!
Matthew 9: 14-38; vs. 38 – let’s
consider the attitude of co-labouring with Christ Jesus. From this verse, we
have seen how Jesus Christ our Saviour went about healing the sick and all
manner of diseases, even raising the dead. We, as believers with our faith
fully activated can do the same, after all Jesus Christ had told us that if we
believe. All these works he did, we can do even much greater ones, Alleluia! Read
John 14:12.
Prayer –
Lord Jesus, help me to live like
you and to do greater works than you have done while on the earth, Amen.
