Promotion... finally! Wednesday, February 8, 2012 11:12 PM
I just came from Church tonight and I found the lesson very interesting. It was very timely. I just wanna share a verse from Job.
Job 23:8-17
Job 23:8-17
8“But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
He does whatever he pleases.
14 He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.
15 That is why I am terrified before him;
when I think of all this, I fear him.
16 God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me.
17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
if I go to the west, I do not find him.

As the minister explained, there was a time when Job didn't feel God's presence, a time when God didn't answer his prayers. But, it didn't hinder him from serving and believing in whatever God can do. It made me realize that when God doesn't answer our prayers, it doesn't mean that He doesn't hear us, He has something better in store for us. He has the perfect timing. He provides us with what we need even before we ask for it.
I know, just a couple of months ago, I'm dying to look for another job. I never had the courage to do so... maybe because I wasn't sure. I asked God for his guidance and just a few days after, he answered my prayer. That week, I had my performance review and I heard just good words. And my manager even mentioned that he already submitted my promotion review. I was in awe.
Just yesterday (February 7, 2012), I got a call from my manager saying that my promotion was approved. Aside from the good looking new title that comes with it, Senior Associate, of course, the much awaited salary increase is like the cherry on top!
