God is greater than man.

“Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

Job 33:12 

Today, I read the verse from Job in my devotional and didn't think too much of it. But I quickly realized that it is something to keep in mind. I got an update about a situation and as the person was sharing to commit everything to prayer, I remembered this verse at some point. It made me realize that whatever another person is doing, God is greater than any man. His power is absolutely great and he can do all things. 

While I didn't think much of the verse in the morning, It's become an even greater reminder as the day is ending that God is greater than man. He can overcome anyone. And so when men rise up against us, it is important to submit it to God and let him fight our battles for the truth is: God is greater than man.

Another side of The One thing

 Now there is a situation where the one thing we lack is the very one thing we need above all else. Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Mark 10:21 (NIV) I wrote about The One Thing the other day. That was primarily focused on my pursuit of one trivial item that day that would've ended in a big fiasco but God was there to help me. The other side of this lies this interaction between Jesus and this man who approached him in Mark 10:17. He had done everything such as keeping the commandments and it sounds like he had some wealth also. In his case, he had earthly wealth or treasure but he wanted to know how to inherit eternal life. It sounds like he realized he didn't have the latter. No? As we can see from the verse Jesus tells him to do two things.  Go, sell everything he has and give to the poor Then, come follow him (...

The One Thing

I had gotten some work done today, one I was especially excited about only to have it erased just minutes after. I wasn't happy about that.  I was talking to a friend later and said shared what had happened.  My friend pointed out that prior to this, everything had been going well and something along the lines of focusing on it. And indeed, things had gone well. I had accomplished a few things in the morning and was now dealing with a minor setback. But here I was, focused on it. I thank God I made that call  because I refocused and got a lot more than today than I had planned.  In the course of the conversation, Adam and Eve came to mind. They had all these trees in the garden and the one they desired was the one tree they weren't supposed to have?  Are we any different? Do we tend to focus on the one thing ? Whether it's the one thing we don't have or the one thing that has gone awry when we have lots of things and many things have gone right, save for this on...

You have the right to say No.

  I saw part of a show today:  Murder, She Wrote . A man comes down the balcony of her hotel room as she appears to be going to bed. He gestures for her to open and she lets him in.  A part of a conversation went like this: Dennis Stanton: would you care to offer me a nightcap? Jessica: No, no. And even if I did, I wouldn't.  Dennis Stanton: ...if people should knock, would you care to say I've been here for the last 30 minutes or so? Jessica: No, I would certainly not do that.  I thought: This is a person who says no again and again with such authority and confidence and without an apology. She's not ashamed to say no or refuse a request. She didn't have to let them down easy or feel bad for saying no. You have the right to say "No", period. No ifs, ands or buts.  In this case, she didn't know the man. She had only met him prior at an event and danced with him. Here he comes down her balcony asking for favors. And the thing is that he had the audacity to ...
