I have truly come to realize that God will support all my needs.
I am not satisfied with my salary and challenges in my current position. However, all my needs are met financially in my life. I have interviewed and not been selected....time after time over the last two years. Yes, I work in a male dominated field, and it would be easy to say I was not offered the job because I am a woman. Although I continue to investigate another opportunity to move up the ladder and increase my compensation, I realize that God does not want me to leave...for now. I believe that although what I do here on Earth is good, it's the job of eternity--being a vessel for His divine purpose-- that is the real job. However, where ever, when ever, God wants to use me....I'm all in.
For the record, I do battle my flesh with each rejection (as rejection is newer for me at this point in my career) but I know that God is in control and has ordained where I have been placed, as a testimony to his goodness, many have come to know Him based on the boldness of my faith.
I write this as I wait for another call back to see if I am invited to proceed in the hiring process...knowing full well that God is in control. I do the footwork and leave the results up to Him (easier said than done at times).
Amen! Much more is at stake than what we can actually see. As the Hebrews in the desert, when the cloud stays, we stay, when the cloud moves, we move. If in doubt, put one foot in the water and see if it parts. As you say, I too can feel my flesh battling, but His plan is definitely better! May God bless you in your career.
What an empowering approach to take to an otherwise frustrating process! Keep holding your faith and allow it to carry you through. I like to remind myself "What is meant to be will happen to me."
