I prayed a pray today that had even me shocked. Today was the beginning of midterm week and I was asked to pray for my class today before we began. I praed that our results would reflect the time spent studying for the exam. I prayed that pray to my detriment. I am a crammer. And so a few hours before the exam is when i realised the extent of the work we have done over the las seven weeks. I studied as hard as I could but I know that I would have done a lot better if i had studied and not crammed.
Like me and my exam today, we dont put in the work and expect the best result in the end. I visited a church sometime a back and a woman was giving a testimony. The one thing that stood out to me was when she said we often give a Cain sacrifice and expect Abel's blessing. Hmm. Interesting isnt it. We never give God our all, our best, yet we always expect his best. We always expect him to shower us with blessings we do nothing to deserve. My challenge is simply this, dont give God some slap dash work, or devotion and expect the best from him. You must give Abel's sacrifice to get Abel's blessings. God Bless you!
