Not relying on God to procrastinate in the world, but to find rest in God

I remember that in 2012, when I was living abroad, I could not even guarantee the basic necessities of life, and was forced by my parents to return to China. Later, the reason why I asked God to let me stay there was not because of mercy and fulfillment of my desires, but because of my desires. In order to keep his own name in my life, and to let my parents see the difference in people with God, I begged him to be merciful, but God had mercy on me that time.

In October 2013, I returned to China and worked very hard. Looking for a job, I don’t want to be an old man. I don’t care about the salary or the type of work. As long as I have work, I will do it. I have a very positive attitude. , I told God that I couldn't find a job by myself, and I didn't know what job I could do. I begged him to give me a job so that I could use my own gifts and glorify his own name. As a result, God's mercy once again I was introduced into a state-owned enterprise, and the industry is also very good and has stamina. I also worked very hard and made great progress in business.

However, these two great experiences of God also left me with There is a sequelae, that is, once I am helpless, or to be more precise, I am desperate, I will list all the problems, and I will be so "religious" that I will not do anything, so I will read the Bible and pray, begging. God made me quiet in him - but when I was willing to be so quiet, the troubles on the outside didn't lessen, and even when it was added, I collapsed to a feeling that even reading the Bible and praying couldn't save myself Come out from the pain.

Today I look at the giant again, and I find the protagonist TARLOR when he proposed to God that he would give himself to God and live according to God's will, he was not isolated from the world, and since then It's just reading the Bible and praying, or nag to God every day like Mrs. Xianglin about his difficulties in work, economy and childbirth~~ He didn't take root in his work since then and said that the coach's task is to win the championship. Instead, he did The only thing is ploughing the land (in addition to training the team well, he also cleans the house, teaches MATT to respect elders, and of course instills faith in the team, and he also prays)

I have found that a life used and raised up by God is not a life in seclusion, but a life in the world. He is not oriented by the value of the world, but he surpasses and replaces the world by the value of the kingdom of God. Value, but not caught in the value of the world, in the end inadvertently God's name was glorified, and I also achieved personal success.

So I also said to God, I also don't rely on myself to obtain achievements in work or people I don't want to rely on this job to start a family, get married and have children, and I don't want to rely on my own efforts to keep the job you gave me, and I don't have to write about my difficulties anymore. On the paper, write down in your heart how wronged or unfair you have encountered. I said, I also want to cultivate the land like TARLOR, when the time comes, you will rain. I also want to be like DAVID, although I have no professional at work. I don’t have a good background, but I don’t give up. May my efforts not be to keep my job, but to show your strength through my weakness.
Children’s prayers, prayers and thanks are in Jesus In the name of Christ, Amen.
