Humble Beginnings

Had a great CG meeting last night where we worshipped God and then my CGL, Char, preached about our worship to God. During worship, Char also began to prophesy to each one of us. For me, God said that He saw how I struggled and how I picked myself up and I was told not to despise my humble beginnings as I move into my new career. That I am going to be like David, small shepherd boy, going to face Goliath. That God has brought me into this career to be a sheep among the wolves, than people will see God's glory in my life. Wow! That's great, isn't it?! That I should not depise my past, which I inferred as my previous job, and that God will use this past to help people in the future. Wow! I never knew that this past would be of any use.

Towards the end of the worship session, a verse popped into my head... it was something like "the least will become great". I forgot where it came from. I only knew that it had something to do with being child like and humble and that it's in the gospels. So this morning, I searched for this verse. I found it in Luke 9: 48 - "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great." Amen!!

How assuring the prophecy and word were to me! I have nothing in me that can possibly be of any cerebral use in my new job, given my not-so-well-developed mathematical intelligence which therefore, translates to some degree of difficulty in picking up financial stuff. But I have God! I can do all things through Christ. When there is none of me, then, God's glory will be clearly evident.

Ps: was told twice that I had shared my testimony with dry, deadpan humour.... hehehe... I kinda like that. Didn't know I had that in me (;
