A Perfect Fit
Human nature always chooses the most qualified candidate. Isn’t that what a job interview is all about? Starting as soon as little children are old enough to pick teams, the best athletes are chosen first, followed by friends and then the rest.
However God never thinks about things the way we do. In Nehemiah 3:8 we find, “Uzziel son of Harhaiah, one of the goldsmiths, repaired the next section;(of the wall) and Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, made repairs next to that. They restored Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.” (NIV) (more…)
As you grow each day and learn new things, what will mould and shape your character? What will people say about you? Will you leave a Godly legacy for your children? Are you leaving a good example for others to follow? Does your life reflect your Godly heritage? 
There is certain soil in a specific garden in which you are meant to be planted. But sometimes we may not like that soil too much. Maybe it is a little too hard, perhaps it seems a little too stoney or it just requires a little too much water. What if this type of soil takes too much work for our roots to go down deep, so instead of persevering in the soil meant for you, you allow yourself to get caught up in the wind and get carried off to a different garden, a garden where the soil feels a little nicer, a little easier on the seed, it seems easier to set your roots down there, after all they don’t have to go as deep anyway. It doesn’t require as much water, it is not as stony, feels a little softer on the shell and not as muddy. It seems just right. 
We all enjoy new things, who doesn’t? We enjoy keeping up to date with the latest technology and devices. If we don’t have it, we want it! If we are able to do so, we get it. In a matter of months there will be a new and better device.
Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”
