Advantages of life

Why is it some people born with many advantages in life? while some are very unfortunate? This thoughts has been lingering in my mind everytime I saw scavengers in the streets and begin to make comparison with my advantages that I have from them.

Each person born in this world have different status in life. Some born in a wealthy family, some born in a poor family, some born with broken family, some born with blessed family, etc. Indeed you ( yes you!the reader of this blog) and me are very fortunate for being born in this world with more advantages in life than them. But we should not spoil the advantages God designed for us. We should use it for His glory. Remember it is not bad to become rich or born rich, not bad to have a lot of money or possessions in life, as long as you are not controlled by them, for as long as you have the heart to share your blessings with others and for as long as you're using it for the glory of the one who's the giver of your advantages.. GOD

Unfortunately, many of the people in this world have such advantages in life but their not using it for the benefits of others. Some even abusing it by taking drugs, spending their money to gamble, some are using their advantages by coveting to adultery etc. In the book of Judges13, before the birth of Samson, the angel of the LORD told the mother of Samson that even if she is sterile, she'll conceive and have a son. The angel of the LORD have revealed that her son would have advantages. No razor will be used on his head, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines. Judges13:5 Fortunately, Samson born with advantages tag in his life. He had incredible strength that he only possessed. He is strong and very skilled Nazirite but he don't use it for good. He killed and shed many blood. He abused the advantages that God had gave him.

May the the story of Samson be a good example to start to reflect in our own lives. Evaluating our advantages that we already possessed since birth, making good use out of it and to bring glory to the one who's the giver of all gifts. May God receives all the glory from the advantages that he puts in us before we had born in this world. Godbless. (";)
