Look for God’s hand in it!
‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes.’ Matthew 21:42 NIVUK
Sometimes the rejection of others turns out to be ‘the Lord’s doing.’ After Joseph had been betrayed by his brothers and slandered by Potiphar’s wife, he said, ‘You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good’ (Genesis 50:20 NIV). How often has something happened in your life that you later realised was necessary? If you hadn’t sustained this or walked through that, you wouldn’t be ready for the blessings you’re enjoying right now. It’s when you see the hand of God in it that you begin to understand that what the enemy meant for your destruction, God used for your development. To be more than a conqueror means to stand up and say, ‘Here’s how I see it. It took all I’ve been through to make me who I am today and to teach me what I know. I choose to be better, not bitter. I trust the faithfulness of God more than ever. If faith doesn’t move the mountain, it will give me strength to endure until tomorrow. And if it’s not gone by tomorrow, I’ll still believe that God is able and trust Him until He acts.’ Rejoice! Your steps (and your stops) are being arranged by God. They’re also being observed by Him. When you get through this, you’ll realise that ‘the worst thing that could have happened’ is, in reality, ‘the Lord’s doing,’ and it’ll become marvellous in your eyes.
Prayer Point:
Lord, sometimes when things are going wrong in my life, they are, in fact, going right. This is because You have Your hand on my life and are working everything together for my good. Help me to trust You, Lord, when I don’t see so clearly. When I get obsessed with trying to control the situation and work things out, remind me to pray instead and leave the outcome with You. Help me remember Your faithfulness in the past and trust You for the future. Amen.

Losing a job or dealing with work-related stress is something that many of us deal with at some point in life. But God doesn’t want you to have anxiety at work. He cares about your day-to-day, and He wants you to flourish in the work you do!
