Of Blessings and Curses

Blessings and curses- two things of opposite meanings, are placed together by Pastor Seng Lee today at the family meeting today.

Mismanaged blessings can become a curse, he mentioned. Just like good food (yum yum), everybody likes good food. But if taken out of proportions, uncontrolled, un-careful, may result in diseases, overweight, and many other health problems.

I thought that can applied to me and I felt God is reminding and warning me of that danger, from another perspective:-

I always thank God for giving me the talent of creativity and an eye for beautiful things; and using it as a career tool to make a living. This talent has blessed me richly, especially so recently with all the big projects and clients.

But this blessing can be mismanaged and be turned into a curse.

What happens when I get too busy?
What happens when I get too tired?
What happens when I get too lazy?
What happens when I get too engrossed?

Do I...
A. Skip quiet time, prayer time? Do I skip G12 meetings and even Church?
B. Choose to obey God, obey my leaders, and do what I am supposed to do?

Duh? B!

But I don’t rule out the possibility of option “A” happening if I am not careful. I should then guard myself and know the balance. And God will bless us back for we have placed Him #1.
