To be Humble

Wanna blog about another lesson that I learnt a few months ago.

I signed up for sunday bible study at my church and was looking forward to it. But to my surprise, I was being assigned to the new believer/pre-believer class! I was quite shocked coz I have indicated on the sign up form that I have accepted Christ for over 20 years! How can they put me to a new believer class????

I realised that the reason I was assigned to that class was because I have not attended BS at this church before. At first, I was quite upset but a litte voice in my heart told me to go and see how the class is like before I "appeal". So I went, and I found that there are other more mature christians in the class being "planted" there (I think. :P) to assist the BS leader.

Then I thought to myself. I have been proud. If God puts me in the class, there are things that He wants me to do. Instead of being selfish and wanting to "gain" from other indepth BS class, am I willing to stay and maybe "contribute" to class discussion?

I immediately prayed to God for forgiveness and asked that He grants me a humble spirit. I know that I can learn things from young or mature christians alike, and even from non believers too! and I shouldn't feel proud just because I have over 20 years of experience in church.

So it's been 3 lessons at the new believer class and I would say I do enjoy it. :) Thank God for another lesson learnt.

I was looking though another blog entry I made last year in which I said should one day God leads me to a position of power, I will use it to influence people and bring them to God. It's amazing how God has been teaching me and preparing me for the things that are going to happen in my life. Now I realise why He wants me to have such a goal because indeed, He is going to put me into a managerial position soon.

I just can't help exclaiming how amazing God has been, as I looked back on the lessons learnt, in-progress training and future challenges He has in place for me. It's a miracle how things have fitted together. Indeed, this has been a very fruitful time in my life. :)
