Bringing up two topics in today's Friday Post: good v bad and anger v. moving on, SEELE's editor Ally poses this question, who is really good?- AND- how we decide if we let anger turn to rage versus moving on.

Seele’s Editor, reminds us that we are both Pharaoh and the Israelite. There are times in our lives when we oppress and are oppressed, and it is our Great SAVIOR, Jesus who has come to set us free from both.

Seele's edtor, Ally shares that, "it’s when times are really hard that we’re refined and that God does His best redemptive work."

For our Friday post, Seele's editor reminds us that before we get locked into a vow, we have to really sit and be sure we are ready to walk into that marriage, that we can deliver on that promise, and that we can pay back that loan- whatever it is we have to be certain.

King Hussein of Jordan to his son: “I could have stepped in but I didn’t. I had to see what you were made of.” King Hussein knew that one day Abdullah would become king and ‘to whom much is given, much is required.’

The fruit that are mentioned in Galatians 5 show that these attributes are attributes of God’s character. And He wants to see Himself in us. And just as He is patient with us, we must be patient with Him and with others.

To whom much is given, much is required, and that includes our calling and the gifts and talents that come with that calling.

To whom much is given, much is required, and that includes our jobs. Last week I wrote about family and how various members of our family are gifts from God, placed in our hands for a reason. This week I will talk about jobs and working hard.

To whom much is given, much is required, and that includes our families. Last week I wrote about how our relationships- those that breathe life into us and that bless us, i.e. work, romantic, and platonic relationships are gifts from God, placed in our hands for a reason. This week I will talk about family. God is asking, “what are you doing with what’s in your hand when it comes to your parents, children, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, grandchildren, and cousins?” Why should God bless us with more or take us to new levels when we haven’t mastered nurturing our own flesh and blood?

To whom much is given, much is required. Human beings can be impatient, ready for the next thing, when God is asking, “what are you doing with what’s in your hand now- with what I have given you?” Why should God bless us with more or take us to new levels when we haven’t mastered nurturing what we have now?
