From my journal back in 1997 I apparently joined a union at work. I don’t remember this and can only say I did now because of the Journal entry. I wrote the following:
I have been noticing a lot lately that God says that he will be found by them that seek for him. But he will refuse those who forsake his ways. This has been occurring many places in Second Chronicles. There are some, like Asa, who do well at first by seeking the Lord, yet do poorly later by seeking men's help. Lord if I did wrong by joining the union I am sorry. You delivered king Asa from the Midianites, over a million men. You could have delivered Asa without the help of the Syrians. (Asa might have even complicated your plans for the use of Israel against the Syrians). But Asa sought the help of man. Lord I know you can deliver me from work, the union, or any organization of men.
I also know you can use any man or organization in my life to deliver or prosper me. I ask that you establish two things (for you are the one who establishes - no matter what any man does): I ask for the grace to always seek your will, first an above all. And I ask that the efforts and fruits of my life be to the establishing of your Kingdom in the world and the one to come.
I also ask that my answers to any man be those which can only be used for the building of your Kingdom and the destruction of all that is against it.
