Have you ever been working someplace when upper management had a major change? That's what happened with my employer this week. Regardless of how much you've been told or how much you understand, there is a feeling of apprehension when the event actually occurs. You have a sense that you are losing control because the everyday tasks to which you are accustomed could change.
After working somewhere for a long time, you sort of know what to expect in almost every situation (mainly because you've seen them all). I have a feeling that it's not so much the possibility of change, but rather the unknown that has made me a little uptight this week. New bosses come with new ideas. New ideas come with new ways of doing things. Is that really bad?
I say no. I still have a job I love, working with people I love! If there is a change, we'll adapt and roll with it. If I need to learn new things, I'm ready. As long as I continue to do my job to the best of my ability, I can feel confident that things will work out for our good - just like a faithful servant.
Matthew 25:20-21 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Besides, we should work to live and not live to work. Living is carrying out God's work and He alone gives us the power to do that.
I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Goodbye hesitation. :)
