In a few more days, i will be leaving my current workplace.. Sad? yes, i'm.. Helpless? A little...
As the search for job seem somewhat fruitless, it certainly look like i dont have a choice in the job i'm taking up next...
It's already God's mercy that i actually stayed two months longer than i should... and the two months were really.. needful... in a whole environment of godly fellowship and plenty of time to spend alone with Jesus, it's hard not to miss this place... But lif goes on, and with Jesus, it has to get better and better.. =)
On the bus ride home, i was so down... downer than down... i was tearing on the bus actually.. haha.. come to think of it.. kinda silly.. i start to remember the dreams i had, the things i wanted to accomplished.. and everything simply seem out of reach to me... And when i look at my own two hands, i began to wonder what's use of it all?
Past failures came back to me one by one...
For some reason, i begun to hum and sing in tongues.. and as i closed my eyes... i saw the story of Joseph flashed past me... Not just saw but.. it's like i'm there in the story.. How Joseph sat in the pit (after his brothers threw him in), legs tucked in huddled up with his arms around it... sitting there thinking what just happened... The dream of the stars and sheaves.. and the reality of being trapped in a pit not knowing what is going to happened next... for a seventeen year old...
Psalm 11:3-4
"When all that is good falls apart, What can good people do?"
The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
What can we do what everything seems to fall apart? David asked.. but He did not give an answer to that question. Instead, he declared - The Lord is in His holy temple and He sits on his throne.. - God is Good... There was once at work, i rectified a mistake that was about to happen. I turned to my colleague and said, "God is good".. and almost immediately after that... I heard Him say, "Am i any less good if that mistake go on to happen?"
God is good. Regardless if the situation is good or bad... No matter what happens, God is still Good!
Hebrews 12:1 (New American Standard Bible)
1Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
I'm not finishing the race struggling, not finishing this race beated up and wound up.. but finishing this race strong.. for the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness that Christ died to give me will not be in vain...
