Foolish me, but I will follow Him

16th November 2007
I rejected a job offer which promises me a salary far beyond my expectation. I turned it down. How foolish! I am now waiting for another offer - same nature of work from another special school. They have yet to get back to me and i very much doubt they would offer me the same salary. The draw from the school is that they have got a group of dedicated and passionate Christian teachers. I lamented, shamefully with a tinge of 'resentment'. Foolish me! How foolish!
Then it strike me how easily i can too be tempted and lured by monetary rewards.

No one can serve two masters.Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Matthew 6:24

Thank you Father for this reminder.

God, am i hearing You correctly this time? Did You make a mistake, i wonder. Father, which way? Is this the lesson of Faith and Trust in You that You want me to learn, trusting that You have only the very best for me?

If you, then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Matthew 7:11

Father, indeed You are in control of every step in my life. There are NEVER any mistakes in Your sovereignty. Even when i am too blinded to see You, too deafen to hear You, i know that You are still there. And because nothing happens in any particular unless Your will is in it, i know i can place complete confidence and trust in You. Father, although i am feeling rather lost at the moment, i know that Your gentle Hand will be leading and guiding me.
Into Your Hands i place my hope, my future.

I will follow Him, follow Him where ever He may go ......
