1 Peter 2:12-14 (NIV)

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.

This scripture has been in my head for a couple of hours now already, due to an incident that happened at the work place yesterday, but luckily I was not involved in the incident.

The message here is pretty clear, in my opinion, that whether you agree with your boss or not, they are appointed as an authority over you, and therefore you, as a Christian, must submit yourself to that authority.

The world is challenging us as people in these days, to challenge authority, and unfortunately a lot of Christians fall prey to this method of Satan to try and create doubt with us, and I must say, that he is extremely successful in using this tool in creating doubt.

I have for a very long time fell prey to this in my life, only to not get what I want from my job, and basically be extremely unhappy with my life. A couple of months ago, I read this scripture again, and suddenly it jumped out at me, at what I need to do, in order to get peace with my job and my life.

Since then, God has blessed me in countless ways here at work and in my life, and I can do nothing but thank him for the current season in my life I am in.

OK, so yesterday I have received the biggest challenge for my life in n long time.

I had a job interview for another IT company, doing pretty much what I am doing currently. The reason for looking at this job is mainly to be closer to home, except for the fact that the project that they want to employ me for, will be at the client site, which is further from home than I am currently at. PROBLEM

But, this is not the actual challenge, as that is pretty much an easy one. During the interview, the interviewer asked me basically one question, and he really wanted to get into it, which I will be grateful to him forever, as it opened my eyes a bit.

This question was, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?”

Easy one? Usually yes, but not this time.

See, the fact is, I have been moving jobs pretty much each year for the last 5 years, and I have been telling myself each and every time, that it is for career growth. This was true, as with every move I would get a little bit more money. The fact of the matter is though, that I struggle to find happiness in what I am doing on a daily basis.

Up until earlier this year, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, and was happy riding the corporate wave until I find what I am looking for, but it has become clear to me that I do not want to be in the corporate world.

I want to be in ministry!

But, I unfortunately don’t have the faith yet to leave my job and step out in faith, but I wish I had it though.

I am now, on a mission to be able to right my 5 year vision on a piece of paper, or even on this blog, but to have it in writing, and then I am going to do everything in my power to align whatever I do, to get to that goal. I have seen a bit of light at the end of the tunnel today though, but to get there, I will have to get a couple of key role players to buy into this idea I have, and then for them to put their faith in me, to make it work for me and them, and for the growth of the Kingdom of our Lord.

So, my request to you guys are, to please carry me in your prayers on this matter, as I am at the end of my tether with regard to my day job, and can think of only one thing, all day.

Hebrews 4:12-13

God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey.
