The Lord isn’t slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn’t want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act.2 Peter 3:9 GW
Far too many people pride themselves and build their confidence around their career and the wealth it brings.
There is nothing wrong with that, in itself. But, without God, everything is wrong with it.
Everyone enjoy the success it brings until, there arise some storms or troubles of life, in most cases, it is health related or life threatening issues. Then it's like the wealth and fame just evaporate before their very eyes.
We don't need to look too far and long to notice some prominent names of yesterday, who are now shadows of themselves today.
Many have sought for themselves other means of protection outside God, unfortunately it always ends in error and tragedy.
Light will always rule over darkness anytime, anyday and anywhere.
Jesus speaking in John 9:5 said,
"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." meaning, to the extent you permit me in your life, I will be your light, your guide, your protection; otherwise, you will be in complete darkness.
"... If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" Matthew 6:23.
Our confidence should be on God, not on our achievements and wealth; that way His Light can shine on our life with His divine protection that guarantees lifetime relevance, now in this life and in the world to come.
Without God, one it is like sitting on a timed explosive, when it goes off, the legacy and impact of such individual will just disappear (completely forgotten), like they never existed.
What will it profit a man to gain the world and looses his soul? Mark 8:36.
Jesus is the only way to all round rest and success in life, career, profession or business.
Build your confidence on Him today, and be at rest.
(Psalm 73:3;17)
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
(Psalm 92:6-7)
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. [7] When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
Enjoy the blessed life, Jesus is Lord!
