A New Name
I need a job change – the office was just too far which meant little or no time for rest, prayer, and so on. Better pay, higher position – these did not even come to mind. I prayed for direction. No position in other companies was open and no job offer came. For a year, I tried to be patient.
A time came when I was no longer sad. I had accepted my place and found joy in little things. No doubt I still wanted a new job, but there was faith and assurance that God would fulfill his purpose for me and his will would be done. Soon enough, I received not one but two job offers! Trough the whole year waiting experience, I found that I became stronger and learned more about Jesus and myself.
Had this been the old me, I would have just been irritated and impatient and resigned. I would have been angry and negative. But in Jesus, the former things have come. “Anxious,” “weak” come be turned to “trusting”, “being patient.”
Just goes to show that the Lord really does change our attitude in life.
