SENSE OF SECURITY
1 Samuel 18:5-15
Devotional:- "Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he
said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed
only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” (V. 8)
One of the attitudes that can
make us love indeed is the attitude of sense of security. Without this, we
will have jealousy and envy in the family. Where there is no sense of
security people will be treating others with wicked (Genesis 4:3-8). Sense of
security is when you are happy with what God has given you. You don't see the
other person better than you but you are willing to celebrate everyone
around you.
You can see how the success of
Abel disturb Cain and he killed his brother (Genesis 4:5-15). You can see
how the successes of David disturbed King Saul till he became jealous of him
and plan to kill him. The word of God says “love is not jealous (1 Corinthians
13:4). To be envious or jealous is to be negatively threatened by the success
of others.
It is important that each of
us know that there is no one created without a special ability or a seed of
blessing to bless others around us. It can be different from person to person.
Yet, everyone has the seed of greatness. Please, discover and develop yours. It
will make you special when you bless people with your gift. We
really do not need to be jealous of each other. No matter how many accountants
working in the same office, there will still be uniqueness in the way each one
works. Just be diligent to be the best in your uniqueness in that office,
community or house of God. You will then have the best of life. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to be
diligent to be the best.

ignorant and laziness”
