“Driving into a fuel station for a refill. The car has a fuel tank
capacity of about 60 liters. While the pump attendant filled the tank, a
motorcyclist also rode in to the second pump. Before I knew it, the motorcycle was full and the rider rode off while the car was still at the pump.
I got there before the motorcyclist but he left before me. It suddenly
occurred to me that it would be absolutely silly of me to think “I got
here before him. How come he is leaving before me?”
Why? Our
capacity is not the same. The truth is there are times in life when we
are stuck at the pump of divinity. Those who came in behind us have gone
ahead of us; those who learnt from you seem to have outran you; those
who graduated years after you are now the ones calling the shot and it
seems as though you are stuck. Could it just be that your capacity is
bigger than theirs? Could it be that your own assignment needs longer
preparation ? Could it be that your character is being formed for the
task ahead?
You do not know what you need. Only the One who designed the journey knows what is important.
Why don’t you hold on?
People will often say my mates are doing this…My mates have done
that… My mates have this…My mates are now…But I’m still here doing
or having nothing.
It is important to know that you spent nine
months of formation in your mother’s womb alone and you were given birth to alone.
Therefore never classify anyone as your mate. God’s dealings with/in
your life is never an estimation of what is happening in the life of
your friends or colleagues.
God’s dealing in your life is very
PERSONAL and unique and should never be an estimation of physical and
tangible things. Take your gaze off other people’s path and concentrate
on the race.
Speedometers are different. Have faith… You will earn your own medal. At the Lords appointed time!!
