God is Constantly at Work

"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118: 24

----

When I woke up, I thanked God for the new day.

As I was getting ready for work,  I kept declaring that every single moment comes from God and He is in control.

Before our shift started, we had to have our usual briefing. After the duty manager gave us our briefing sheets, I checked to see where I was working and who I was working with. I recognised my partner's name as she used to work for my agency. I thought it would be nice to work with her.

After the briefing finished, my work partner told me we were no longer working together as she had swapped her shift with another colleague. It turned out  to be someone I had worked with recently and I had enjoyed it.

Today's "performance" was a graduation ceremony which we were hosting. My colleague and I were working at the graduands' entry point. We had to make sure they had their tickets. I let the graduands in and my colleague showed them to their seats.

As a lot of graduands came with their guests, I had to keep redirecting their guests to their allocated seats upstairs. 

While the graduation ceremony was on, my friend and I shared our experiences including our faith. I even shared my blog with her.  I really enjoyed her company.

After the ceremony ended, we had a debrief withnthe duty manager. I discovered  some guests had been very rude to certain staff. One of them was the colleague I was meant to work with before she swapped with my friend.

Although I was sorry my  colleague had had  a challenging shift, I was happy I got to work with a kindred spirit.

Thank you, Lord, for always making everything work out for good. ❤️

Jesus is Lord!

"...no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:3 ---- While I was relaxing in bed, I stretched one leg and I started feeling pain on my calf.   No, no, no! The pain quickly became a cramp. I called on the name of Jesus, but I could feel the pain getting worse. Just as I was about to get off the bed and put my foot down, I heard these words deep inside of me, "Jesus is Lord." I said the words out loud: JESUS IS LORD! The cramp immediately left my calf. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your reminder that Jesus is Lord. ❤️ "Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3: 17 Image of the cross courtesy of Google Images, but I added the text.

An Easy Day

Image
Before I went to work at this museum, I thanked God for an easy, fun and wonderful day. Half of my time was spent working in the gallery, where I was invigilating, and in the shop serving customers.  Although it was really busy with a constant flow of visitors and kids, I found it easy as God was working in me and through me My work colleagues were also very nice and helpful and I enjoyed working with them. I also enjoyed chatting to the parents and their kids. While I was tidying up an area of the gallery, I found this soft toy and I gave it to a colleague to look after. Later, I saw this boy sitting in the cafe with his mum and sister. I noticed he was carrying the toy I had found in the gallery. I told him I was glad he got his toy back. I asked him how old they were, he was six years old  and his sister was ten. The boy said his birthday was on the 27th December. I told him my nephew's birthday was also on that day. How amazing is that? At the end of the shift, our duty ma...

Letting Go of Grievance

Last night while I was working at  this concert, most of the guests I met were friendly and polite, but there was one particular guest who was challenging. After the event finished, I reported the experience to the duty manager and let it go, or so I thought. When I woke up this morning, the guest was still in my head. I asked God to help me let go of any grievance I was holding. I was reminded of Ephesians 4: 31-32.  Thank God for the Bible, which has the answer to every problem we have in this world. ❤️ ----- Related Bible verses: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."
