The Shepherd King

Went through multiple failures in interviews, though was ready to take up any work, nobody was willing to employ me; when there was a chance I couldn't take it up...

... for a month as a probationer in a small, but a great company and, Internship for 4 months in another company, from which eventually I was out...

and then it was January(already 5 months since I passed out of college) -lot of calls, lot of interviews & nothing more; some wanted SCJP(Sun Certified Java Programmer), some just didn't want you...

... already had attended more than 20 tests/interviews for different companies and now already into March, but the same old pressure from the world, home, and lot of advises... only few could understand what I was going through.

In those days of struggle, I can still remember how in the church, God spoke through a play enacted by 2 guys (I still don't know who they are - God bless them!). As they enacted, they played a song which spoke about David, the king.

David was a shepherd, the world couldn't see him any greater , but God saw him as a King. However small the world might look at you, you are greater for God sees you as a king. What a message it was!

God's word was such a comfort - the time during which I was unemployed, I really got to study the bible more. God spoke; he comforted me... He used plenty of people to strengthen me (Johnny Johnny, my heart says now as I draft this :D )

March & what next - there came THE opportunity! I hadn't prepared much as I was busy preparing for ANOTHER interview, but I tell you God always has better plans. I managed to fail the interview very badly for which I was preparing, but could clear the test(THE opportunity!) without much preparation & then came the interview & I cleared it. The interviewer remarked, "For a fresher, this knowledge is too much " - proud moment Isn't it? Prior to the interview I had faith that I will clear the interview( I knew it; I don't know how!)

"David killed Goliath using a sling", this message was repeatedly being played in my mind. No guesses on who played that! My God played it :D - I believe! I believe!

...And Goliath I did kill! March was over, my offer letter was due & I was asked to join on May 30th. Here I'm today, celebrating 3 yrs of continous work. God is good!
