Living with certainty in uncertain times

Decided to update my blog after a year of absence. Was doing my quiet time, and realized that I should really record this unique time in my life, when I am challenged on a daily basis.

I am currently jobless, and definitely seeking out employment actively. I was just reading a short article/message on the “my daily bread” website, under “my utmost for his highest” for Apr 29, recommended by a mentor that I look up to tremendously. It is about living in life’s uncertainty, but being completely certain in God… definitely a good read for anyone that faces any slight uncertainty in life, especially me!

I am usually a decently humble guy, but in my walk with God, still trying very much to depend on my own strength. My current journey has humbled me a great deal, making me understand that through my own strength, I can achieve very little. It is only through God’s grace that I can achieve anything at all. Hence I have to learn to lean on him, trust him, commit all things to his hands, cast our worries onto him.

I used to think that I should be able to manage interviews pretty decently, while I may not be the best of the best, I should do decent in interviews. Through this process of walking with God and going through the various rejections and uncertainty, I learnt that what God wants to give me, no one can take from me, what God has not prepared for me, I can never get.

God has been good and real to me, giving me various encouragements, a lot of friends and mentors who are walking this journey with me, guiding me, teaching me, holding me. God has been good in sending many many messages like one on him leading Israel through the desert for 40 years without them ever being in need… about 1 Peter 5:11, that after suffering a while, God’s truth will come to pass.

Of course God blessed me with a tremendous partner that is supporting me and walking with me through this testing time.

In good times, u see friends, in tough times, you see true friends…. Thanks to all who has tried to help me, and show concern, and given words of encouragement, it means a lot to me, each and everyone of you.

I thank God for these friends… true friends… and most importantly, I thank God for being such a true God to me… I pray that I will continue to learn to walk the journey in a way that will make him proud, that will demonstrate God’s goodness in me.
AMEN!
