Challenges

This morning, my supervisor told me there is a project to be done in 2 days. It is very urgent and very rush. It sound very difficult to me. And I think so too. I am kind of people slow in motion. I am most productive given more time. As the conclusion, this is a challenge for me. Then, what is the my reaction? I think you can guess. The bible recorded similar occasion like this.

(Numbers 13:27-31) They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan." Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it." But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."

There are 2 opposite reaction when people faces challenges. The first one is "Let do it, God is with me." The second one is "No, it is too much for me." Obviously, these 2 reactions will surely leads to different results. One leads to failure and one leads to success. Actually, there is the third one which sound like this, "I have no choice!" This will leads to result below average.

Let's make good decision. Life is about making decision everyday.

Brother, i agree with you. Life is always about making decision. Somehow, we may make a wrong decision since we dont really plan it properly in ahead.

Another thing is may be we are not confidence enough, seem we have already fail in our thought. Besides that, we may easily distracted by the surroundings. People who are negative will given negative thought to us, and vice versa.

Like in the Bible says:
Proverbs 3:5-9 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Let's not give up to seek after Him everyday in our lives....
