Reflecting on the 40 days that Jesus was tempted by the devil in the dessert. ‘Turn this rock into bread, so you won’t be hungry….No harm will happen to you, even if you jump off the cliff….I will give you all of your desires; power, money, fame as long as you worship me’
God cannot tempt us, but He allows temptations to come to us to teach and better us. Where as the devil is total opposite. It is also written that God will not allow us to be exposed to temptations more than we can handle. With temptation, He also always provides a way out for us.
I wonder how often we succumb to those temptations.
I also come to realization just how easily I fall out from God and rely on my own abilities and understandings.
As I was sitting in the board meeting, taking a little pause gathering thoughts during a discussion, a voice spoke to me ‘Did you invite me to come to this meeting?’. Of course, God doesn’t need my invitation. But the realization was that I’ve always asked God for help, His guidance and vision when we started; and when the results were tough, I often asked for strength and courage in the meetings. We’ve been kicking butt the last few weeks, hitting milestones and gaining grounds and things are bad ass. I was excited to go into the board meeting because I knew things would go well since the results were great; but left out God. When He was the one provided all this.
It was a good reminder.
I am really excited to see the all the heights God will take us this year. We’ll accomplish the impossible. We’ll see increase in traffic, in revenue and in team size. I believe in that confidently.
