It really helps to consistently talk with the Lord about just anything. I find that He is also consistently teaching and correcting me, giving me the right words to speak to others and telling me the next move I should make.
During this season I've learnt not to point out the faults of others if I see any or to make comments. Because many times we get frusfrated over things that happened at that very moment. And speaking does not help much more than action does. It helps to quietly study the situation and ask the Lord for wisdom in each one of them. I've learned not to ask something in favor for me but to create a situation that will be in favor for me. And it'll be what I wanted initially without having to voice it out. I guess this will have a more lasting value. If we could do just that, then we are really in control of the situation. Or to put it plainly, we gain true respect from others. I was randomly reading my books yesterday and I found something I read to be so true in regards to this. Respect is gain when we are doing it out of excellence. I guess that makes the best leaders too.
Something I thought of after I came home today. If we could serve or work with excellence, it'll not be difficult to hold a higher position with greater capacity of influence. The life of Joseph came to mind. I really believe he was placed where he was to be refine to godliness. And when we pass the test, the Lord can entrust us with bigger things.
Another thing I asked the Lord recently was, "How do I make a decision in any case?" What shall I based it on? And the answer was very clear. To always go by the Word of God. And it has never fail to help me decide.
Stand still, God's beloved. God is your Defender
