Stressful Audit days...
What a stressful week! From the moment I had to work on a Saturday to get some reports ready for audit meetings - I knew that the coming week would be a stress buster. From providing never ending figures and responding to numerous emails – the week just couldn’t have been more demanding.
As I lay one night thinking about the nerve wreaking meeting the next day, I was constantly reminded of how stressed I was exactly a year ago as I was making decisions regarding jobs and my career. Today, as I complete one year in the bank, I am stressed again but this time by auditors as we finalise accounts and clear entries by year end.
Life is always stressful, be it at your work place, bills to pay or maybe relationship issues. But as I took each step as I walked to work that day – I was comforted by what the psalmist expressed in Psalm 27 vs 1:
The LORD is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid?
And I thought, what am I afraid of? So I might end up muttering nonsence, be left speechless or can’t explain an aged debit lying pending in the account. But I may also be able to knock their socks off by getting my act together and relying on my stronghold & refuge to take control of the situation. I need not fear those auditors. They may mess up my weekend plans or I might be the last to leave office but heck – what to do! That’s life & work! No use sitting and moping around with the woes of work life. Instead, I am gonna take it all in and deal with the stress.
"Find rest, O my soul, In God alone; my hope comes from him" - Psalm 62:5
