Lean not on your own understanding

Hey 👋🏿,

I hope you had a beautiful day. 

Basing today's blog on 

Proverbs 3:5 NIV

[5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Yesterday night was pretty tasking on my mind because I was supposed to be somewhere but I had another thing I wanted to do.

During the session which I eventually went for we were asked to dramatise this particular verse and then I understood that during my battle with self few minutes prior, I definitely didn't lean on God's understanding but mine. 

And then today during service my pastor touched on Faith. 

(It's giving Gbas gbos at this point 😂😂...like Lord I heard you yesterday)

And he's like, Faith works hand in hand with obedience and sometimes the instructions just don't make sense. 

But there's an assurance that if you work in God's direction you will definitely not lose the way. 

So this is a lesson for you and I, that we should stop trying to understand and make sense of what is required of us as believers because the only comparison you have is from/of the world. 

You pray too much, you're standing out too much for your faith..nada nada nada.....

 I learnt during service today that you have to fight for your faith because why would the devil allow you to feel good about what you were instructed to do 👀.

(At this point I should just share everything my pastor talked on this Sunday 😂... It was really inspiring and lessons were learnt and relearnt)

Everyone's instruction is different, so just because you're the only one waking up early in the morning to clean church or to do a prayer walk round your hostel, you're not going to slack off because you're not seeing results immediately or you can't understand why it has to be you.

So on this note press on, fight the good fight of faith and don't let the world dim your message. 🫶🏿.

Your accountability partner in Christ, Gloria 🫣.

Shalom 🤍
