How to loose the Apprentice
Last night was the final of the Apprentice here in the UK. Here's how to loose the Apprentice but win in life.
Bible
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Ti 1:15–17 - If I were Lord Sugar and I wanted to show the world how great my business acumen is and what a stunning mentor I am I would have picked the absolute worst contestant in the whole show and turn him into the next Steve Jobs (Alex Cabral would have been perfect for this!).
- That is the reason God picked St Paul. "I am the worst...", that sounds like bad boardroom strategy, but it's the truth.
- Paul is facing up to the reality of who he is and the reality of who God is.
- David Platt writes: "This is how God works. He puts his people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness."
Prayer
Father God, it has always been your pattern to take what is weak and small and timid and use it to do strong and large and powerful things. On the cross you did this completely - so help us now not to falsely rely on our ability but to openly confess our inability. As we see how desperate our situation is we pray you will see that we are the ideal candidates to show the world who you are. Amen
Regards,
Kruger
