I remember working a temporary
job, scheduled for a month and the situation was horrible. The boss was
disrespectful, micro managing seemingly all the time. I remember going to the
bathroom and exiting seeing him waiting outside. He asked me, what I was
doing? On top of this crazy boss, it was hard labor with a random schedule at
hours I disapprove. I complained nearly every day to myself. At this time I was
new to reading God’s word and everything changed when I read this scripture:
Collosians 3:17
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
To obey the word, I developed the mindset
that God was my boss. I’d say to myself, “I’m doing this task to my best for
you. God I will refrain from purposefully annoying the boss for you.”
This new mindset brought about
peace. As Jamera broke down so well on Tuesday, peace makes your situations
non-existent. In the past seemingly complaining every minute, to now after
obeying God’s word experiencing a silence in my mind which was peaceful. Days
after experimenting with obeying God’s word, I began to drift back to my
complaints.
In the midst of my complaints, God
opened my eyes. Showing me, since obeying his word, he moved me from every
situation that was frustrating. I was moved to an area of isolation away from
the micro manager and moved to an area without physical labor. I was still
working a temporary job, my path in life was still uncertain, I was still
working disapproving hours but yet none of that could stop me from thanking God
for my life and present state. God’s peace removed me from my situation. Then
as God always does, he leaves you with an expressive joy and an inexplicable
hope.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace
always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power
of the Holy Spirit.
