Hang in there

Yesterday was a big day for our family; I had my twenty-fifth work anniversary yesterday. I am now eligible for retirement from my company, if I could afford to retire. But, I am so blessed to reach this milestone. At times, it seemed that I would never get here but GOD has seen us through.

Again, not that I am going anywhere. To reach the twenty-five year mark validated my career decision and guarantees provision for my family should I meet an unfortunate demise. It is great peace of mind to know that providing for your family, which is what we work for, is somewhat solid.

Today's word is 2 Chronicles 15:7, NLT, which reads, "But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded."

Many of us may wonder if what we do makes a difference, and to those around us, it may not. But, even though I reached a milestone yesterday, I never lose sight of the fact that I am not working for the praise of men; I am working to honor and please GOD. I want everything I do to be acceptable and pleasing to Him.

If you feel like you are stuck and going nowhere, keep in mind that if you are in GOD'S will, He has you where He wants you and where you need to be. Whatever may be going on around you is nothing compared to the work He is performing within you. Your hard work and diligence will be rewarded. Hang in there!

Be Blessed,
