HE IS GOD AND I AM NOT The decisions we make today, create our tommorrow. We are the architects of our own fate condition because we are free moral agents. We can choose to walk away from wrong opportunities. You can either yield yourself to God or the devil. All of us who have fallen made a decision. All of us who have not fallen faced similar temptations but made a different decision. Matthew 6:25-33 - “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’…For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” God knows our needs and will provide for them, although He may not provide all we want because human wants are unlimited. We do not know how to satisfy the needs of our life but He does. Therefore, when you approach God, you should humble yourself in your requests, realising that, ‘He is God and I am not, He is a Father and I am but a child, He is the Shepherd and I am a straying sheep.’ What we want may not be what God wants for us at that particular time or what we need. We should therefore not interpret God’s silence as rejection; even when He seems silent, He is still saying something. Therefore, when you are next faced with a decision or a temptation, ask yourself what the consequences of that decision or falling to that temptation will be. Don’t be tempted to choose temporary pleasure over permanent gain.
