Rainbows and God's Faithfulness
Don't get me wrong. I so love what I do, and especially the company I currently work for. Our company prides itself as the "world's most fashionable tech company". 🤔
I love the technology and the skills that I've learned so far, and are still learning. I love the the flexibility it offers in terms of work responsibilities and areas of growth. As I keep on telling people, it is my dream job.
But as in every corner of our life, there are always different challenges that comes along. For privacy's sake, I won't go into the details but because of it, I struggle to find joy in my work.💔
Lord, is this where you really want me to be right now? What is my calling in this place?
Every time I am faced with this challenge, the fruits of the Spirit disappear. I turn into a different person. I hate to admit it, but at times I turn into a person which I don't seem to like. Why is this? I found myself in a dark place. A winding, foggy road where I can't see what's ahead.
Remembering what I prayed for this year - FIRM confidence and COMPLETE faith in the Lord. Is this your way of telling me to give up control, Father? Your way of reprimanding me of being too proud? Your way of humbling me? Your way of reminding to let go of "idols"? Your way of fixing me, and correcting my relationships at work?
This week, I was reminded in Psalm 139:23-24 (NIV)
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
As Manong and I were in one of our walks, I looked up to the sky, rekindling my awe of the wonders of our Lord. And then I saw the rainbow. I remembered God's promise to Noah in Genesis 9:13 (NIV)
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
And this morning, I was reminded again in Psalm 111:4-5 (NLT)
He causes us to remember his wonderful works.
How gracious and merciful is our Lord!
He gives food to those who fear him;
he always remembers his covenant.
Thank you Father for your promises!
I may not still see where I'm supposed to go but Jesus walks in front of me, and beside me. I just need to give it all up to Him, and He will do the rest.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Please pray with me: God would You reveal Yourself in my workplace, through me and my colleagues. In Jesus' name, amen.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
