Still thinking about Ps Jo's sermon, and these words I read from a brother's blog:

"As most of us develop our Christianity along the lines of our nature and not along the lines of God’s nature, therefore we need to be watchful not to follow the drum beat of our culture about the goodness of personal wealth and material prosperity.

Instead, we need to be rooted in His word and advocate a theology of stewardship which puts other people’s necessities before our own luxuries. We also need to simplify our lifestyles and get a clear grasp on God’s priorities including His special concern for the poor and destitute of the world.

Even if we aim to succeed in the marketplace, it should be aligned with a motivation of wanting to be an influence to others for God, and not for worldy wealth."

Timely reminder to me...

Do not just aim to be an influence in the workplace... rather, aim to influence others BECAUSE of CHRIST, BY CHRIST, and FOR CHRIST.

Yeu Ann, don't forget WHY you are in this particular time and place... and check if this is God's will for you. If yes, stay. If not, then obey God and move on... no matter how pleasant the current land you are on.

Be an Abraham, not a Lot.
