Do Not Worry

Let's see, where do I begin. God is Good, All the Time. Basically, He provided me with a great starting job with a great starting pay. Now the details.

I was praying for God to open doors to where He wants me to be, and close the doors to where He doesn't want me to go into. So guess what, He answers.

Surrender to the Lord, and He will bless
A few years back, I surrendered my NS to the Lord. I remember specifically that I told the Lord that I submit it to Him, and being our Almighty Lord, He sent me to Police. I have lots of free time to do what I have to, and I don't have to suffer much.

He has a plan for you
Next, I applied for SMU and NUS, I didn't get in. So I'm sure the Lord doesn't want me there now. So what's after that for me since my NS is coming to an end, was work. I applied for a few jobs, and then within a few hours, one of the company, Swee Lee Music Company, called me and asked if I wanted another position, IT Support / Marketing Executive, which they have and not listed on their website. So indeed God is showing me where He wants me to go.

God provides for us what we need
And guess what, He provides me with not just enough money to get through my days, He blessed me with a bag when I need one. (Thanks guys)

So let me close with this few verses as a reminder to us all of God's goodness and greatness.

Matthew 6:25-33
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 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? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
