The Right Time, All The Time

As I come to another crossroads in my career and in my walk of faith, the question inevitably is "What does God want me to do for Him?". Recently, I have a calling, one telling me to walk away from my job - a job which Jana and I believed whole-heartedly that was blessed by God Himself. This has been a sense of confusion to me for the past weeks and I have not had the right questions to ask nor the answers to clarify my mind.

However, over the weeks, my state of denial has eased somewhat even though there are still no clear answers or direction. Rather, I am assured by three things:

1) God has only the best intentions for me - He knows my heart's desires.
2) God WILL reveal His plan to me at His own time (not mine).
3) God is ALWAYS on time.

All these time, I have been wondering what logical reason is there to quit, when is the right time to quit and what will I fall back upon if I quit. But something Jana mention today made sense. I should not be worrying about when I quit or if I should quit - if God has planned for me to be somewhere else, He will make somewhere else available no matter when or why I quit.

I am reminded of the time at EMC when I was at such a low point, which came after the disappointment of React. I had been searching for a job for months to no avail. Though I was already a Christian then, I had not known the true meaning of faith. It came to a point when I just gave up, tendered my resignation without a job. Throughout my notice period, there was not a glimmer of a single interview. But on my very last day at EMC, I received a call not for an interview but...a concrete job offer from Manpower.

Looking back at that now, I am assured. The paths may be unclear now, but He will straighten them. I know that whatever happens, God is with me and He WILL be on time.
