Everyone has their share of their problems, and every individual will have their own capacity, each of us will have our own thresholds.
Today had been a horrible plus terrible day for me. Obstacles and disappointments keep coming in my way. Many things that I have been looking forward came as disappointments, many obstacles for work hinders me from moving on, problems in life make me stay at that very moment and people around me suddenly became very scary. That’s how I felt at the very hour I started work.
How did every single negative thing had such wonderful team work and came together to me at one go? It was a big blow! I meet obstacles, face problems, felt disappointments and scary people appear now and then but I never had EVERYTHING at one go.
I cried out to God! I realized that I may have relied on Him for strength but there are things which I depended on myself, which is such a wrong move. I prayed and shouted for help to Him in my office cubicle.
Thank God for Mich! Unexpectedly, we were msging each other this morning and she knew how upset I was, and she said, dun get yourself burn out and read Ecclesiastes 3. Although I felt much better after seeking for help at that moment, Ecclesiastes 3 kept coming to me. And thank God for Robin who reminded me of my inconsistency in prayer and relying on Him.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven”.
God has a plan for every single one of us out here in this world that can simply scares me off. Although we may face problems that seems to contradict God’s plan or simply put us down in a terrible time, there should not be any barriers to believing in him but rather all these should become opportunities to discover that, without God, life’s problems have no lasting solutions!
The secret to peace with God is to discover, accept and appreciate God’s perfect timing. The danger to doubt or resent God’s timing can lead to despair, rebellion, or moving ahead with His advice. (Isn’t that the way I almost led myself to this morning!!!)
All of us are working adults. We definitely face problems in our work and in our personal life. But in one week, we spend a lot of time in the office, therefore we can’t deny that if we were to shine in the market place, working have to be one of the options besides praying and seeking God.
But we can definitely enjoy our work by:
a) remembering that God has given us work to do
b) realize that the fruit of labour is a gift from Him
c) see your work as a way to serve God
Remember God wants us to enjoy life. When we have the proper view of God, we discover that real pleasure is found in enjoying whatever we have as gifts from God and not in what we accumulate.
Guessed I have shared too much today to the point where I don’t even know if I managed to link everything into one. Hope I don’t confuse anyone. Hee!
But one thing for sure, I will lift up everything to HIM and rely on HIM.

Yeah Fiona it's one of those days. I totally understand. But it's those times that make us wanna run to God and cry out to Him. He is unchanging and He will never leave or forsake us in time of trouble.
"He is glorified in our weaknesses, because in our time of weakness, He will make us strong."
All praise to be to Him!
