I worked a 13 hour day and had some time to reflect on whats been going on these past couple of weeks. I have moved up from the mow crew to a softscaper for the landscaping company I am working for and find myself enjoying being me. Im becoming for self aware and hard working.
The past two weeks at my church, the topic of discussion and lesson has been on the story of David and Goliath. But not just the “The boy defeated a giant because of the Will of God”, but rather taking each portion of the story and analyzing it further. Two weeks ago, the Lesson was knowing who your are and what god called you to be. And I realized that I do not need to walk in shame of my mistakes and believe that I am what others may call me. I am a servant of God and can walk in victory, knowing that I serve a greater purpose in life and to those who may speak poorly of me.
This past Sunday, We talked about how we need to acknowledge our giants and face them head on, knowing we can and will win. And that faith grows greatest in a “tight situation”. I have been avoiding my giants with the way I would eat, the way I would spend my money and the way I carried myself. So now, I know to eat healthier, even when I don’t want to or it doesn’t look the best. I no longer carry my debit card because I know that if I have it with me, I’ll have a strong temptation to use it. I’ve been working harder now because I’m feeling better about myself and knowing that I am meant to do great things. That by working hard and completing a job to my fullest extent, I get and give gratification to God and that he will reward me for it.
I walk in victory because He is my King and I am His Servant.
