So What's Your Rush All About? :P

I am officially entering the work force of the Philippines... as an unemployee. Haha :)) I have just finished the last term of my college life and am now moving on to a new phase of my life. But just before this breather (blogging) that I took, I found myself back-slouched with eyes squinting in front of the computer trying to fix my cv and looking for job opportunities I feel like grabbing. After hours of re-thinking and re-rethinking what I want to do in life and cramming myself to come up with a decision the soonest the next second comes, I finally decided to close the series of tabs I have opened regarding IT opportunities, breathe deeply and call unto my God.

So what was my rush all about? 

We human beings have probably spent 98%, if not entirely our entire lives, trying to meet deadlines, coming on time and even bending and multi-tasking just to make it to whatever we want to make it to. But don't you find it a bit tiring? Don't you just find yourselves tired, exhausted with that baggy eyes but still getting nowhere? I probably have - most of the time.

Work. Work. Salary. Success. Work. Work. Salary. Success. If my mind could only chant, these are probably the most often words it would blurt out into a chant. I had been constantly pre-occupied with my future work and endeavours. My bland tasting for programming is again haunting me and when you mix the bum life of a new graduate with a not so satisfying academic life - you get panic as your life flashes before your very eyes. So yeah - I was panicking my future.... and forgetting that God should be in the equation. Wait, actually, I forgot that God IS my solution.

"But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."1 Peter 3:4, ESV

Thank God he reminded me that I was not seeing the biggest and strongest solution I have on my side. Someone better than any referrals, better than any review I can do for a technical interview, better than any job opportunity I think I might miss out! In fact, God does not ask that I worry myself with these external success and achievements I can adorn myself with. He doesn't tell me to leave them all behind, rather He tells me that he has it all in His hands. :) 

The Lord blesses those who endure in His name. He himself will adorn us with things that are not only temporal, but those which are everlasting and eternal. For unceasingly the Lord has promised:

"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, ans all these things will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33, ESV

That's why with this, we boldly claim and trust in faith that we are and will be blessed! The Lord continues:

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:26, NIV

So YES, the Lord loves you.
YES, you need not worry about anything in life, as long as you have Him.
YES, if there's a kind of rush you should have, it's the rush to get to know more your Loving Saviour and Lord.

We can all rely and relax in God's love...

Now what's your rush all about? :P
