The will of God has an amazing way of working everything out.
Have you ever encountered a situation, where you are eating dinner at a fancy restaurant… and as you are enjoying your filet minion, you begin experiencing something in addition to your indigestion… it is guilt brewing in your mind. Besides the ridiculous caloric value of your seared cow, you realize what you are about to shovel out of your wallet… You anxiously await your ticket, and after a while, you break down and ask the server “can I please have my check?” …. She smiles back at you, and says those words everyone loves to hear…
“It’s taken care of”
Ah, it is a great feeling. You look over your shoulder and see a table of elderly people who picked up your tab, just for hold the door for them as they walked in slowly. Kindness pays off.
God’s like that. He gives us some brief instructions as to how we should live our lives, and when we obey him, he rewards us. And as such, I have had a brilliant day.
For those of you who don’t know me and where I am at in life, I have the best job anyone could ever ask for. I work for, in my opinion, the best company there is in the U.S., Life Care Centers of America. Being fresh out of college and in a corporate office, I can assuredly say I am blessed.
Well, today, I quit this brilliant, sparkling job. Yes, call me ignorant, I’ll take it. By most standards, I am ignorant, but I know without a shadow of a doubt, I am to go. So in 60 days, I am packing my bags and moving far away to the land of South Korea.
Why? I am not sure. All I know is I am purposed to go there. Call me crazy, I am.
As I trembled approaching my boss with my notice, I was reminded, somewhere deeper than my cognitive thought, that there is no room for regret or doubt… I could hardly believe the words I spoke, as I saw my comfortable life whisping in the wind. There is no turning back at this point. The way he responded blew me away. I had prayed the day before that he would enlighten the hearts of those individuals I work with, so that they would not be offended or betrayed. And every associate in my department responded with arms open wide and tears in their eyes. I have never felt so believed in, in all my life.
Most of them said they knew this was coming! I didn’t even know it was coming!
God is great like that. If he asks you to step out of your career to do something crazy, do it. I promise, he knows what’s best, even when it doesn’t make sense.
He pays for your steak every time.
