At approx. 11am I googled: scripture for direction & peace
I found a scripture.
At 11:52am I wrote:
Job 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
Draw nigh to Him and He will draw nigh to you. Make God aware of you. Familiarize yourself with Him. Be friends. Be at peace, conform to, the will (the plan) He has for you, and then be at peace with it.
If He’s not your Master, He’s not your Lord. It just works best [all the way around] to agree with Him—the Master—of your life. God will pull Himself up close to a heart that is obedient to Him, to a heart that is pliable in His hands. It is in the conformity to His divine purpose that we prosper and great blessing comes to us.
So, despite what you’re going through or what you are feeling at this very moment, remember to take heart that He cares greatly for you. The circumstance is bothersome right now, perhaps even very hurtful, but it won’t be for always.
Remember that He has the plan because He made the plan. Not one good thing will He withhold from them that walk with Him. The trial you face right now is just preparing you, molding you, to be able to withstand the double blessing He wants to pour into your life.
Trust Him. Live in peace with Him. And the great God of love and peace shall be with you. God is in the midst of you and He will help you. He’s always right on time!
Reading this again it gives me goose-bumps.
At approx. 1:30pm:
My boss comes into my office, ask me to step into another office. The one with the door. He closes the door, telling me to have a seat.
Ok, so let me back up.
About a week and a half ago our firm lost a major big client. Really none of us saw it coming. But it did come. And it's now our reality. Over 1,000 cases....GONE. It's still unbelieveable to think about. This client was the majority of my work load at the office.
Moving forward.
So I do his bidding, having a seat. He sits in the other. Long story short, after almost 9 years with the firm I am now back on the prowl for a new job.
In the last 8 days did I see this coming?, you may ask. My answer: yes and no. That is the truth of it. Yes and no. That's my answer.
I'm doing my best to try and be positive. Obviously when one has spent day-in-and-day-out with some great people for nearly a whole decade....it goes without saying....the emotions I'm feeling are scattered, covered, and chunked!!! They're all over the place.
Disbelief. Belief. Worrying over the "what ifs". Excited for the possibilities. Upset about the changes it will bring. Excited about the changes that may come. Crying one minute. Hopeful and smiling the next.
So, was this scripture prophetic??? I think so. When I found it and claimed it for my promise scripture today I really had no idea what was coming to me today. I actually was thinking this would be of some encouragement to anyone else. Now I believe God had it for me and He gave me the thoughts I had concerning it FOR me. Most certainly not just for me, but for others as well.
Now I just gotta work on myself about the "being at complete peace" part of it.
Smiles! ~md
