God, my boss. I'm his business

I graduated in May with a diploma. I had gone for my first interview with SP Corporate Communications (CCOMs) to be a Public Relations officer (in line with what I studied) in April after much prayer. With encouragement from a Navigator friend, I waited for their answer. There were six applicants when I went. They called me back for a second interview with the management after a month. Now there were only two applicants, myself and another lady... everyone else probably had found other jobs already. When I went in, after that interview, I asked them how long I would have to wait for their reply. They said maybe 2 weeks. And even by then I wouldn't know if I would get a positive response or no. I complained that it was a long wait.

I left the place telling God I sorta didn't think the job would be mine, doubting it and giving excuses so I could go hunt for lots of other better-paying jobs in PR firms. I knew I was impatient then and entertained thoughts of applying elsewhere already. 3 hours after the interview, I got a call

I exalt me!


If this informercial were real, I would want to purchase it.

Wrong worship to make to God... For the contemporary hymn-singer, this song would be uber interesting as it's a parody of singing and worship. My friends have pointed out how at times when our heart is not in the right place when it's time to worship that we lie when we sing these songs and praise God.

Another friend suggested a remedy to this problem: mean what you sing/say. Don't sing the song on Sundays and forget its meaning on Mondays.
