Reflections...

Romans 4: 20-21
20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

i noe dat God will protect me... in my wk, i was faced wif a colleague dat made me feel dat e hard work n effort dat i put in my job is futile cos dat colleague feels dat dat particular thing can anyhow do one... but i noe dat i m to do my best in my wk fer i m doin it fer God... n finally yesterdae it was made clear dat this thing needs to b given our best efforts cos its monitored by e upper management... so thank God... He reminded e colleague of mine usin a high level management dat this needs to b taken seriously... so its gd... our hard wk is recognised by e Lord n God has e power to do wat He has promised - dat i will b rewarded fer e efforts i put in... cos e management gave us credit fer e hard wk we put in... ^_^

in e workplace n even e world, we usually become critcal n cynical abt everythin... tokin bad abt pple n things n bein negative n discouragin to pple... i m guilty of dat... but we need to remind ourselves daily dat this is not to b e wae... even if our colleagues resort to schemin waes to climb up e corporate ladder n leavin us eatin their dust, we muz remain firm in God's Word n His righteousness... to do wat Jesus would do...

1 Peter 2: 1-6
1Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
