As Stubborn As Mule

Psalm 32:8-11

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.

9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.

10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.

11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Bee's Thoughts:

I have only worked in my present preschool for about a month and is still trying to get use to the tons of daily paper works that seem to be endless. Other than this dislike I am quite happy working with the children and my teachers. I felt the school should hire a clerk to do those admin works instead of making me a highly paid 'clerk' and have less time for more critical works that require my kind training and qualification. For this reason I was actually looking around for job that doesn't require me to do all these time consuming admin works... so I am in the midst of attending interviews this week.

However, my boss' boss came to my office at about 5 p.m. and talked with me for about 3 hours today. She asked me to consider taking over my boss' position, which will be vacant before end of this month. Erm... I felt flattered but wasn't that keen to take it up, yet I felt bad to reject. *sigh*

Thank God that in today's devotion He is saying to me: "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." (v8).

Actually I told my boss' boss that my weekly Friday evening Cell meetings are very important to me, which will clash with the weekly Friday management meeting should I take up that position. I will not compromise for the sake of a promotion.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for assuring me tonight that You will guide me in what I should do. I want to commit my work into Your hands. Lead me as I obey Your Spirit's prompting reagarding my career. I trust in Your providence Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
