51:12-16 “I, I’m the One comforting you.
What are you afraid of—or who?
Some man or woman who’ll soon be dead?
Some poor wretch destined for dust?...
This one hit me because I'm a worrier at work. Not that I'm actually afraid of others but in effect when I worry about stuff, like being concerned with how others will judge me its kind of like being afraid of them. Now if I'm not doing my share or my best work that is one thing but if I'm doing what I know is right really what do I care about what others think? It does seem kind of ridiculous for anyone to be afraid of the thoughts of others when you put it in context of they are just a person with a beginning and an end here on earth just like every other person. Just be faithful and trust in God and there really isn't anything to worry about at work. must have work on the mind.

Here's what I try to remind myself of...when I start worrying about what others think of me.
ReplyDelete1. I believe that God exists on a higher plane than time. I believe he exists outside of that constraint.
2. I believe I will be with God in heaven, due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for my knuckle-headed-ness.
If both of those things are true....then I'm already there. So, why am I worrying about what someone thinks of my decisions, or of my clothes, or of my lunch, or really of my leadership. It just doesn't make sense!
Having said all of that.....I'm with ya 100%
