Credit To Who?

“But God, who comforts the humble, comforted us…” (2 Corinthains 7:6/Holman CSB)

So, I looked at my schedule for this week and I couldn’t believe my eyes. They scheduled me for 4 days a week but I am not the only one hurting at work, another co-worker also scheduled for 4 days. At first, I was truly furious, then, sour, and later, I became extremely sad. Someone re-hired back to our workplace and soon enough, most of the co-workers’ schedules were change in a flash.

I think it’s not fair. I mean, if you are going to do something to my schedule let me know ahead of time. If it’s the economic or if it really is because we have another co-worker, they should at least have a Front Desk Meeting about it first, not after the fact you change my schedule. I remember the managers having a meeting about shorten our hours and then, made the schedule. All of a sudden with great surprise some of the co-workers are losing a day . It must be money issue…right?

Eventually, the devil sometimes creeps up on me. I began to question myself, “Am I good enough?” Maybe I seek greatness in my own eyes and not God’s eyes. Did I praise a little too much for my own good works and not labeled it as God’s good works? Maybe I did overestimate my own accomplishments and started to say “Look at me!” & give me credit for my success. “There is no such thing as self-made man. All of us are made by God…and He deserves the glory, not us.” They say that the greatest among of us all are those humble servants who care less for their own glory and more for God’s glory. This journey is very difficult for me & I am in a puddle of my own tears.

A Prayer: Lord, I still believe you blessed me a job because I am still working here. May I keep calm, be patience in this moment of my life and maybe it’s a sight from you. Maybe you are giving me another better opportunity for a job in the future and if so, please guide me to the right path. For no matter what, I am going to give all the credit to you. Amen.
