Have you ever felt like situations come up left and right when you finally feel like you are going the right way in life? There was a moment today where I felt like everyone wanted something from me. At work, I had one person saying they needed something by Monday, then another why are we behind on this project, then another not to go over on client timing, but then another, ensure you make utilization goals. I sat there, and then I heard the word “bondage” and the scripture Galatians 5:1 came to me, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Bondage is the state of being bound or held to an external power or control. I begin to reflect on how frustrated I am, doing something and giving time that is not fulfilling, but yet you have to answer to a boss, manager or director. God’s desire is for us to live an abundant and fruitful life, being free from the yoke of bondage and standing firm on His promise towards us.
Everything that we go through is working for our good. God will use your pain, your past, your circumstances to get you to what he has destined for you. It is important to know why you are working at a certain place. Are there skills you are supposed to learn for where you are going? Do you need to learn management or communication? God will use it all to work for you. This is a great scripture to meditate on; Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Be strong and encouraged on this path that God has you on.
If you are experiencing heaviness and feeling alone and it is affecting how you show up in the world, know that God will give you a garment of praise for every heaviness that you may be carrying, and the oil of joy for your mourning. Isaiah 61:3. Reflect on the areas of your life where you feel the most frustrated, and journal out what are you to learn from this situation. Are their goals that you set for yourself, and this situation is grooming you to reach those goals? You will be surprise how God will use your current circumstances to perfect you for your destiny.
