As I have stated previously, I resigned from a finance company quite a number of days ago. It was a great working experience for me. Unfortunately, I chose to resign. Everything were good there but I didn’t had a “peace of mind” working there. I am no one to judge so I won’t even talk about it.
At first, I just treated as if nothing happened. Slowly as days passed by, I was struggling emotionally. I was in a dilemma if I should even continue working there. Then, I prayed to God. The next day, my prayer was answered and I knew that it was time for me to resign. Thank God! :)
From then now, I trusted God completely and follow wherever He led me to. As days passed by, Satan started to plant doubts on my trust in God. Unconsciously, I began to doubt myself if I should not trust in God. Fortunately, I was strong enough to get rid of these thoughts fast. Thank God. :)
Two days ago, I decided to try my luck to apply for jobs. Yesterday, I was offered to go for a job interview to become a teacher today. Yesterday, I was not worried about my interview today because God told me: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own.” (Matthew 6:34)
A dramatic series of events happened to me today while I was on my way to the interview.
Upon reaching the MRT, the rain was pouring heavily. Since I do not know the exact location of my interview venue, I went to ask an employee in the MRT control station.
Oh goodness! There were floods everywhere. I wanted to wait for the rain to stop. However, the rain was so heavy that it does not look like it is going to stop anytime so I decided to walk in the rain with my umbrella.
Within a few seconds while I walked, I was all wet. My pants were soaked with rain water! -.-" it is the first time I felt that I had just screwed myself up because of my wet clothes to go for an interview. I was terribly upset. I even had thoughts to forgo this interview. Then, I called out to God and asked God to stop the rain. Two seconds later, the HEAVY RAIN STOPPED IMMEDIATELY WITH SUN SHINING BRIGHTLY! Can you believe it!? Praise God! I was tremendously happy at that point of time! I was elated, overjoyed, ecstatic, thrilled, over the moon and etc. :D
After which, I continued to walk to find my way there. While I am on my way, I continue to ask a numerous working adults who were working around the area. As I walked, I realised that I have passed two bus stops. When I looked at the time, it was a minute to my scheduled interview time. Without hesitation, I called up my interviewer to tell them that I would be late. :( (This is the first time I am late for an interview.) Furthermore, I ask them for the venue again and I was told that I had overshot way too much. Oh no!
Then, I walked back. While I was walking, I still could not find the venue. :( Thus, I decided to take a cab reluctantly. I board the cab and told the driver the venue. However, the driver gave me a puzzled look because he does not know too. Hence, he told me to alight and ask the security guard beside us. I was really tired because everything seemed so wrong. However, I never gave up praying. I prayed even more. :) I remembered “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Upon asking the security guard, the security guy gave me the same puzzled look. He brought me to the receptionist to ask instead.
The receptionist showed me the way and told me that the building is just right besides the building I am in now. Finally, I found the building! Thank God! :D
I shall not talk about my interview.
Anyway, back to my story.
My journey from the MRT to my interview venue depicts our walk with Christ. There will be many trials and joys that we will face.
However, always remember this “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8) Just like how I asked God to stop the rain for me. :)
Sometimes you get really tired of everything that is going on with your life. An example would be how tired I felt when I could not find the venue for 30 minutes but I did not give up. Remember “…but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Mark 13:13) and “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:13-14)
One day, God will reward you. In the end, God send me a good Samaritan. If you hang on with your faith, live in righteousness, pray, do bible study and applying God words to your everyday life, you will be saved! “Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:12) and “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.” (Luke 6:23)
May God bless you whoever is reading now.
