Lesson from the Life of Constantine
Constantine is not new to me, but knowing the story of his life in conquering Rome is really new to me. I was glad to know that he actually believed in the Lord but I see that he didn't let God be the Lord of his life which was quite evident through his actions. I was also frustrated to witness the Christian scribe who was supposed to encourage Constantine to believe in God because He is the true God not to use Him as a tool to make himself known all over the world. It was definitely selfish. Besides all of these happenings, it is really true that God used him to enable Christianity to grow and spread that time.
I just realized that God really works in every situation. Even at first it seems too hard to understand but later on we would surely see God's hand mightily working for the glory of His name and for the best for us. With this realization, I need to be more appreciative with whatever situation I may be in instead of grumbling or murmuring.
To do this, first I need to ask God for help, then I will find an accountability partner who would remind me if I murmur again. Then I know slowly with God's help I will be able to do this.
