Leap of Faith

Into the unknown, Lord. With You.

[thewordfortheday]

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

Worry has never solved a problem. But it has caused stress, despair, anxiety, and much more.

Today's scripture tells us to replace worry with prayer. Instead of worrying, we are to tell God our needs, remember all He has done for us in the past, and thank Him for His faithfulness. Then we can experience peace so great that it is beyond our understanding! As we live in Christ Jesus and walk in obedience to Him, His peace will guard our hearts and minds. Instead of worrying, we will be enveloped in His peace.

Why Misaeng was the most cathartic drama to watch as a young professional

Misaeng: Incomplete Life (미생) is a Korean drama about the workplace. It follows a handful of other young professionals through all the stresses and different dynamics of the office, and more specifically, one team as they struggle to perform and meet company expectations.

Watching this show genuinely felt like therapy. I empathized with the new hires as they got slammed with work, worried about doing a good job, and worked late into the night, alone in the office. I was coming out of eleven months of working on a project where I felt so unseen, unknown, and isolated, and it was very affirming and cathartic to see these characters go through the same thing. It shone light to the reality that I am not alone; in fact, many people share in this experience, but being new and working virtually had made it much harder to see.

Misaeng also gave me new hope and perspective for work life. The busyness, pressure, and stress that arise from the demands of work can often define one’s work experience. In the midst of this striving, making friends or even being kind to one another can be lost, and to a new hire (or as I like to think of it, a baby chick) in the workplace, this can be very discouraging and difficult to navigate. Watching the team go through all of that, but also see how under the surface they do care for and support each other, helped me to gain a deeper perspective on the day-to-day work experience. The way someone emails, speaks, or even looks at you can be harsh sometimes, and definitely misunderstood if taken personally. However, it is more often than not the product of a day’s worth of stress, and not about their actual attitude towards you. While it may not be the reality you want to experience, it helped me better understand my interactions with colleagues. It also makes the little moments of joy all the more special and heartwarming. I’m not sure if I cried more watching the scenes of frustration or celebration, because it’s really the sense of connection, purpose, accomplishment, and humor that get us through the day.

[You can watch Misaeng on Netflix. It is one season with 20 episodes, which are 1-1.5 hours each.]

Sending Out an SOS

I sought the Lord, and he answered me. Psalm 34:4

Message

Whenever we are in dire need of help and in desperation, we can always rely on the help that comes from the Lord. He always answers.

Just like what David wrote in Psalm 34, he acknowledges the deliverance that comes from the Lord. He praises God for being his refuge and for hearing his prayers.

We can always run to God in prayers whenever we feel stuck, trapped, hopeless and desperate.

Promise

When we call out to God, He hears, He answers, He saves and delivers them from the enemy.

Verse 10 says:

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

As we seek the Lord fervently, we will live abundantly.

Command

Always seek the Lord first, not our last resort. He is always our solution!

Warning

Relying on other people or tangible things such as money or success will only lead us to destruction for they are of this world. They fail. But with God, we can never be disappointed. With Him, we are secured and safe.

Application

The Lord is our refuge. He always has been. Let us not waste our time running after other things to seek help and strength; don't make God as our last resort. He knows us better then others, even better then ourselved. Let's run onto God, where there is assurance, peace and safety.

[jirahnosaurusrex]

there are things inside me that i want to let out.

they’re really bothering me. always.

it’s just that i can’t find the right person to talk to.

i’m afraid they might misinterpret my feelings.

i need comfort. i need peace. i need hug.

maybe I’ll just pray.

My heart is breaking for my country. For the world. I am angry. I am frustrated. I am desperate. Lord, have mercy on us.
