The Bible says that God has defined the place and time in which we are to live. "LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance" (Ps 16:5-6).

After much questioning about whether this is really where God has placed me, I can say for sure I know God has called me here. Struggling through I was at the verge of giving it all up, throwing in my towel but God just kept holding me up.

It can never be more assuring to know that although things around you just don't seem to be going the way you want it to be that one bigger than the circumstance and the issues is holding everything together and watching over me.

I really believe that just like Joseph who was brought through so many different trials could come out victorials because ultimately He knew who He was serving. One of my friends asked me one day whether is it really worth it to work in place where you know you could be better off elsewhere with more time for yourself and family and probably more interesting. I remember giving him this answer that its Christ we are serving whether with the missions, in the church, in our families or even at our workplace.

If He has called then no matter what, He is there. Ultimately is not about quality of time in what we can do rather doing what God intends us to do. That does not mean all will be at well but that means God will be there even when things are bad. It is here that we will receive our inheritance as we fulfill our purposes in and through our work life call.
