Fear Not!

"Fear not! Stand your ground and you will see the victory the Lord will win for you today...The Lord Himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still." Exodus 13:13-14




It is very difficult to keep still, to be patient, and trust in the Lord. We would rather do something NOW, right this minute, decide NOW. Proceeding with my own plans NOW is more comfortable than waiting on the Lord. 


After graduation, most of my son's classmates had jobs already. One of his best friends started working the very next day after their Commencement Exercises. Although Josh had several job offers, he waited and prayed. Like I always do, I also prayed for him. He told me that all the good start ups had their offices in BGC. That was too far! With the traffic, it would easily take him more than 6 hours a day just to get there and back! And parking fees would be enormous! 


I told Josh that nothing is impossible with the Lord! We just waited and prayed. One day he received an email. He got a job offer from a start up with great investors behind it, in line with what he really wanted to work on, free parking in the office, flexible time, casual clothes, offices in Mandaluyong (soon in Quezon City). All his boxes were ticked! All his mother's boxes were ticked and more! It turned out he did not even have to go to the office! He worked from home! So almost nothing changed with the onset of the pandemic. He just continued to do his work from the safety of his own bedroom. God is good! 


Thank You Lord, that when we wait on You, You work on our behalf! Thank You for Your favor!
