Changing Jobs
Proverbs 28:25 He who trusts in the LORD will be prospered.
A close relative of mine had a great job in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Because of the type of work he was involved in, he knew many of his competitors, and often times had a good relationship with them.
His position was well established in the company, and he had great job security. One day, however, he received a phone call from one of his competitors. A job offer was made.
He did not give an answer right away, instead he asked the Lord what he should do. While the decision to leave his job to go to another one did not make sense, he felt the Lord was telling him to take this new position.
After he took the new position, just a few short weeks later, his previous company folded. My relative made the right choice, because he trusted in the Lord, and not in himself.
Many times we have choices in our life, and we make decisions. While we may not know the answer, God does. God knew ahead of time that the company my relative was working for was going to fold, and God provided a way out before it happened. God wanted him to prosper, and not face the financial problems that arise with a job loss.
Do you find yourself no knowing how to answer? Trust in the Lord, and you will be prospered. He will give you the right answer, even though it may not make any sense to you.
