Friday, July 11, 2008 ( The dangers of success @ 11:07 PM ) The dangers of Success read: Deuteronomy 8:6-18 Content sins to avoid: -Letting your heart to be proud -Forgetting the Lord after achieving success commands to obey: -Observe the commands and laws of God, walking in his ways and revering him. Story (daily bread) Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said that he learned to pray in a Siberian concentration camp because he had no other hope. Before his arrest, when things were going well, he seldom gave God a thought. Similarly, the Israelites learned the habit of depending on God in the Sinai wilderness where they had no choice; they needed His daily intervention just to eat and drink. But when they finally stood on the banks of the Jordan River, they awaited a more difficult test of faith. After they entered the land of plenty, would they soon forget God? The Israelites knew little about the seductions of other cultures, having spent their lives in the desert. Moses was more afraid of the coming prosperity than the rigors of the desert- the alluring sensuality, the exotic religions, the glittering wealth. The Israelites might put God behind them and credit themselves for their success (Deut.8:11,17). Ironically, success makes it harder to depend on the Lord. The Israelites did prove less faithful after they moved into the promised land. Again and again they turned their hearts to other Gods. Beware of the temptation that success brings. There is grave danger in getting what we want. what i learnt: The dangers of success is that our hearts might become proud and success makes it harder to depend on God. Alot of times when we achieve success, the first thing in our minds is not to thank God but instead thinking highly of ourselves. We must always remember not to forget God as he is the one who gave us the ability to do things and succeed. There is no failure more disastrous than the success that leaves God out. Prayer: Thank God for giving us talents and strenghts to be able to do things and succeed. i pray that we would be cautious to not allow ourselves fall into the dangers of success- hearts becoming proud and forgetting you.I pray that we would learn how to be thankful to you in every situation and also to be dependent to you. Forgive us for the times we think highly of ourselves when we succeed in something. Thank God for keeping us in good health and for everything you have given us. Amen. 0 comments |
