“Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 15:33 NIV
Behind every beautiful morning there’s a dark night. Before we have honor a price must be paid. The greater the breakthrough, the even greater sacrifice. There’s no crown without a cross, and no victory without vicissitude.
I’m making the same point time and time and time again because in general what media shows us is an easier path. People just happen to be successful, they do well by doing the least, and things should pan out just because. Nowhere in the Bible we can find this message.
Let us go back to the basics and don’t expect any more than what we put in. No investment, no reward. Let us embrace the night because we know God promises us a morning.
