What a change!

I didn’t know that turmeric water is a good chemical indicator of bases like soap (actually until recently, I didn’t realize turmeric had an r near the beginning!). 

I was impressed by that bright-red change! Some other things bring about less immediate but powerful changes. 

How does success change you? When God blesses you, do you become a better person or a worse? 

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭7‬:‭18‬ -19 says, “Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?”

‭‭

David humbly recognized that God was the one that made him king. And now God promised that David’s kingly line would never end.

Success and blessing could’ve ruined David, but he stayed humble. 

Pride can bring down someone that no other enemy can, but humility invites God’s help. 

Luke 18:14b says, “Every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”

How do success and blessing change you?

Today's Bible reading is 2 Samuel 7.
