Just when I thought things at work were going nowhere, all of
sudden…I had 11 sales today alone. It had gotten to the point where I
was only getting maybe 10 sales a week. We have been trying many things
to rack up the sales to no avail until today. Maybe something clicked
in the buyer's eyes today or something.
I wasn't worried about my job…yet, but it was in the back of my
mind. Evidently something is going right…and guess what that is??
After last week at work, I started praying diligently that things
would pick up…not only to keep my job, but I have been involved in this
company for three months now and I really believe in the products that
we sell. They are great and I have been wanting the company to be
better than they were before I got there. It was a horrible mess until
God brought me there to clean up the mess and move things forward. I
don't want any praise or glory, though. I just want to succeed in what
God has permitted to do for a job.
Also, I was talking with the production manager and she was trying
to blame someone else for something that happened. After talking with
her nicely, I turned around, stepped out of her office, and said
something that was disrespectful to her. I could barely sleep that
night because the Holy Spirit was telling me that I need to make that
right with her. So…the next morning as soon as she walked in the door I
asked if I could speak to her. I asked for forgiveness for the things
that I said outside of her office and told her that I disrespected her
as my authority. She was dumbfounded because she did not hear what I
said and she could not believe that I would apologize for something I
said to her.
God provided a way to reconcile with my authority even though she
had no clue what I did. She was in awe of me doing that. A few minutes
later she came to apologize to me because she did not own up to her own
mistake and pawned it off on someone else.
Plus, yesterday, I was actually able to bring God's Word to a
co-worker. It was exhilarating. I had been praying for her for the past
month or so as she was able to bring little tidbits of her life to me.
She started asking questions and the Lord gave me the right words to
say.
Have you been in the direst of needs and thought how in the world
you were going to get through it? Well…guess what…in the world, you
can't. But…if you look up to the Heavenly Father above and ask Him for
help, I know that He would be willing to do that.
He wants us to come to Him first in any situation that we might be
in. He might not provide in a way that you think He will or even want
Him to, but He provides for your needs.
God loves giving us everything that He has. All we have to do is ask…and He will be there waiting for you. |
