22 May - Do not worry

Today's ODB brings me to reflect on a lesson that I'm not yet finish learning - Do not worry. Well, how could one not worry ?

One of my favourite passages in the Bible, the book of Matthew 6:25 to 34 says :

"26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?.....34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Recently, I have been having ups and downs at work. Immense workload, sudden or tight deadlines and unreasonable requests from clients which all pushed me to a helpless corner. Yet, I find keeping the regular habit of daily devotion and reading the words of God, peace and protection from temptations or traps strengthened me, day by day. When I allow God to take charge of my work, where I pray before making some phone calls or sending emails, He let me experience His power and might !

One recent incident is that I was hard-pressed by persistent but nasty counter-party on an unreasonable request, I was totally lost with words and ways for exit. I lifted it up to the Lord in my bedtime prayer, and it was miraculously lifted from me the next morning ! Then, the incident "revived" after a week, again, with the grace of God, the unreasonable demand was amazingly given up by the client at the end.

Praises to God for His victory !!
