I had been working in the same company since the time I set my feet here in UAE in 2006. My salary is not that big, just enough for all my needs. I met lots of pressures, problems, stress, discouragement and most of the times I want to give up. Pack up my things and go back to the Philippines. But through all of this, God is always there to remind me of His greater plan in my life. Here in UAE, He used me to the fullest, He show me things that are beyond my expectation and understanding. He allowed me to pass on trials and difficulties, for me to experience in sovereignty and power. He bring people and circumstances to strengthen my faith and show His mighty works in my life.
Life is not about money, it not about your career, it not about how much your earnings nor how much your savings now. Life is all about Christ, His purpose and His will in our life.
As I ponder through God's word today, He again reminded me of His great purpose and plan in our life. That is to be used for His glory and of course for His kingdom alone.
Our life here on earth is with great purpose. When God created man in His own image His very purpose for man to be Christ like. To live a holy life and bring glory unto His name. And when time comes that He bring us home we will all be under His lordship.
God's greater plan for us may not be to leave our occupation. But it's His plan that we use or time, talents, resources and careers to bring others into the Kingdom.
God has a purpose and plan for your life
When from sin's burden He's given release
As an ambassador nor for the Lord
Go and tell other of His perfect peace - Hess
