Today God taught me at work just how much I depend on Him. If I am not doing things his way and asking for help from Him I am literally blind to what I need to do. Today I did not spend as much time with Him in the morning and was not asking for God's help at work today beyond just getting up and reading. When I arrived at work things were just not going right. It seemed as if everything was just falling apart and they were. My samples on the standard showed up way below specifications, machines I used broke, things that should be easy were difficult, at one point I was even blind to something that was literally right in front of me. My blindness sent me into a panicked rummaging through a garbage can for something I had lost. I think I may have been rummaging through the garbage of my past only to find the anxious, stressed out David I knew in high school. My co-worker saw my insanity and suggested I take a break and against my worst judgement I conceded. I prayed that God would forgive me of my pride and that I needed him to get through my day. He changed my perspective and opened my eyes to see what really was happening. I was shown that my witness at work is not just about how I can do things well, but about how I handle things when they are falling apart. The world does not need a perfectionist, but someone who trusts wholly in Christ.
God change me and mold me to be your light in the workplace and not forget how dependent I am on you.
