There are two things you might not have discovered about yourself, and until you do, the probability of either feeling frustrated and unfulfilled or becoming haughty and disdainful is inescapable.
To maintain a balance, you have to find out what your maximum potentials are, so you could rise to your peak. And the other is knowing the propensity for evil that is hidden within you, so you could learn to be modest however your achievements.
The Lord wanted Moses to realize the staggering things he was capable of doing when He asked him to throw the rod in his hand to the ground, and it became a serpent! (Exodus 4:2-3).
And in order to keep him levelheaded, the Lord also shocked him by showing him the bad hidden within him: “And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.” Exodus 4:6.
Leprosy? Right within Moses bosom? Nothing could be more shocking!
The man never knew the extent of the strength and weakness he had within him up until that encounter.
Feeling unfulfilled? It only means you haven’t realized the magnitude of the strength lying within you!
And if it’s your achievements that has gotten into your head; it implies you haven’t understood the measure of your fallibility yet.
