Led by the Lord

Months ago, Su was telling Lord that He should know her better. She loved her job; she did not want the easy task that Lord wanted her to go for. She did obey the Lord in the end.

Last month, she quit her job, this also lead by the Lord, for her to be a housewife, to take care of her 2 sons. She had initially complained about it so near to bonus time, what a waste to quit now. However, she obeyed.

While looking at a Toy r US brochure on what is on offer for Xmas, suddenly she has this realization. Year in, Year out, she has slogged in this job, long hours, that left no time for the family. It wasn’t about the pay too; it’s too little to be bother about. All she was looking at was that year end bonus, which can be a few Ks. She had been wondering if she was still working, she should be getting the bonus soon.

Usually she would use this bonus to buy Christmas gifts for various kids and parents and left nothing for herself. She did not realize what kind of life she was leading, till now staying at home. Finally, she realised what she had been doing is a pretty meaningless life, like what King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, chasing after the wind!

She realizes trusting the Lord is the best. He will put her on the head and not the tail. She will be peaceful and rejoice in Him. Such is a more fulfilling life. Praise the Lord!

Lately, I am also leading Kr to start walking her trust in the Lord. She did not realize what blocking her is some grain of sands, not high mountains. This is going to take her great courage to take that first step. Hopefully she will reach out for it. I pray in Jesus Name! Amen!
