Not so easy at your work???
" If it had not been for the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say, if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they would quickly swallow us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us." Psalm 124:1-2
A person at work didn't like me. I had just been hired at a new job. I later learned that her attitude toward me was because she had been hoping to receive the position that I had been granted. She was a very hard worker. Even so, the owner of the company stuck to his decision for me to have that position, For many weeks she was rude and talking about me behind my back to my coworkers. I had no idea why she was so nasty. I was very disheartened by her innuendos toward me. I prayed about it and grieved over it. I really felt this was my calling and I loved my job, but she was making it miserable.
I finally asked her what is the problem. She came out with her explanation, about her beef with me, ( because I "took" the job she felt she deserved)and the unfair treatment she had received from the company's owner. In time, she left that company and got a similar job somewhere else. I still had my position and kept it until I retired 10 years later.
God took care of it for me. He gave me strength as I did my job, and many, many times I went to Him after another day of dealing with her.
What a comfort it is to know in my heart, I am not alone, ever! No battle or situation is ever faced
alone for me.
God is " on my side" according to the psalmist, and talk about comforting!
He sees all, and is there to speak peace to my rattled heart and mind, if I just listen to that still small voice.
He knows my need and sees injustices. Knowing this helps me to realize I am never alone in a hard situation. When the enemy of my soul tries to ruin my day via people or circumstances, I have confidence in God; He will sustain me as I recall things he has done for me when I have dealt with difficulties in the past.
