Last night in our Prayer Meeting I have been rebuked by the verse Bro John quoted, it is in Ecclesiastes 10:4 If your boss is angry at you, don't quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes (NLT). For my past 5 years stay here in UAE not even twice or thrice I wanted to quit. Many instances had been happened especially in my job that I even asked God if I really have to stay. Only few friends knows that I have been terminated twice for such no reason at all. Every morning it’s been a battle for me to wake up and go off to work. I even pray that my boss will now show up in the office so that I will free from anything that will ruined my day. But God will not allowed us to live in fear, we have to be strong and stand up for what we know and believe is right. He taught me to pray for him, to let him understand that we are all human and we bound to make mistakes. And not all are perfect. And He did. He answered my prayers, he gradually become soft spoken, never I hear him shout again. He can now tolerate his anger.
But then again something happened last week that cause me react impulsively. Am I facing my same dilemma again? I thought I already won the battle , why now I’m facing the giant again. I was about to prepare my resignation letter when God reminds me of His faithfulness. Never He leave me defeated in any battle that I’m in and yet with only this small disagreement will I surrender? It calms me, I closed the letter without saving it and asked God's forgiveness for letting my emotions ruled me again.

I know lot of people having the same experience with me, some of them even worse. We don’t need to pleased our bosses; we don’t need to do things beyond our will just to received applause and praises from them. Because there is only one Audience we have to pleased and that is Jesus Christ (Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do work at it as though you are working for the Lord and not for people.). Just don’t quit, God put us in that position and only Him can able to take us away. After all maybe His purpose for you in that company has not yet fulfilled. Let us allow God to use us mightily in whatever situation we are right now, let His light shine on us. It's always been my prayer and I hope this will also be yours too.
