Greater Reach 16 - Worth Waiting For

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath ordained that we should walk in them.  Ephesians 2:10.

I ordered my cap and gown today for graduation! Yesterday I woke up with the realization that I really ought to go to my graduation ceremony.  After all I have been through and all that God has done to get me to this point I have no one to blame other than myself if I don't go.  And to think that I had the money sitting there in my account to purchase the cap and gown.  I easily could have spent it.  I could have blown it over Spring break but I didn't.  

It's really amazing how God has anointed me with His wisdom when I haven't really sought after it like I have knowledge.  I really had such a small part in doing what God had called me to do.   What's great is not that I was victorious this time in the self-control department, but that I have a relationship with the One who makes me more than a conqueror.  And as long as I keep Him first I can walk in victory. 

When swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with the humble (those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by trial, and renounce self) are skillful and godly Wisdom and soundness.  Proverbs 11:2.
