And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, what is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even? THOUS WILT SURELY WEAR AWAY, BOTH THOU, AND THIS PEOPLE THAT IS WITH THE. for this thing is too heavy for thee, thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory; Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls

Can the children of the bride chamber fast, while the bride groom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the new wine must be put into new bottles.

The will of God for any individual must always be fulfilled. There are things God decides that an individual must have even before the person is born. This is predestination. This is the major back ground that makes one great. If there is great expectation from God for the person. God always gives the person big heart. He embarks on projects without looking back. If he expresses initial fear it is only to consolidate his belief. This exactly was the case of Jacob prior to their birth, revelation show that the elder wills serve the younger. The younger will be great and become a great nation. And the two children struggled together within her; and she said, if it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her, two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be born of thee; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Can you imagine life without challenges? Can you imagine you living from January to December without problems or issues that will task your thought, brain or imagination? Of course, such a life will not be meaningful and fulfilling. It is the ups and downs that make life exciting, it is challenges that make us to go extra mile.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Proverbs 4:7
