HE REMEMBERS
But the dwelling of the just, he favors. – Proverbs 3:33
“Lord, Your will be done. You know everything!” Carla prayed. Not that
she wanted to be promoted, but because she felt it was unjust that she
should be doing the job of her superior who was often out of the
country. It happened for years.
She loves her job and considers it her mission — with God as her boss.
But somehow she felt abused during those years. Still, she kept quiet
and shared about it only to a close friend, all
the while praying, confident that the Lord sees everything. Humbly, she
did her work and gave it her best shot. She made the company’s interest
her priority over her own.
After four years, she got promoted, not only once but twice! God did not fail her.
You and I go sometimes go through life situations where we
want to fight back or demand for our rights. That is certainly
necessary in some cases, especially when our dignity is trampled upon.
But no matter how bad the situation is, there is always hope. God
doesn’t sleep. He sees everything and, just like in Carla’s case, He has
a way of bringing about justice — in His time. We only have to trust
Him. Tess V. Atienza (theresa.a@shepherdsvoice.com.ph)
Reflection: Do you feel as if there’s no hope of bearing fruit in what you’re doing? Fret not. The Lord might just surprise you!
Thank
You, Lord, for being there for me when nothing seems to be happening
down here, and for the hope that Your Word gives me. Amen.
St. Januarius, bishop and martyr, pray for us.
