It is said that storms bring you closer to God. And that I can’t agree more. Currently with all the circumstances I am facing, it has caused me to doubt God. Like : why is my pay so low? Isn’t blessing in a form of my pay as well? Why have you called me to this career?

As I spend time with you, I am reminded of the likeness between me and the Israelites. Have I been grumbling? Taking granted of His blessings in the past, that brought me to where I am now. My good workplace? How He led me to teaching the kids again? The enjoyment I get as I hang out with the little children? Thus, causing me to do grumble on the present things which do not match up to my wishes.

Lord, teach me not to compare myself with the worldly values – my pay. Just because I do not think, or my kins do not think I am earning enough, does that mean God is shortchanging me? Especially as of now, when I know that despite of how little I have, you still provide me with enough to give to others. How can that be other then the fact that You are my sole Provider? O God, renew my naive mind that constantly tries to feed my fleshly desires- coveting. Teach me to be satisfied and realign my mind And desires with Yours:)
