Are you an anxious person? Are you the type that has a hard time waiting for things to happen in its own time? Do you keep running things over and over in your mind, and then find yourself praying for it to hurry up and get here? I am.
I am kind of having that problem right now. There is a supervisory position opening up at my work. The pay is much higher than my current salary. I would be the main man over everyone in my area with this position. I keep wondering about it--talking about it. And I also find myself thinking about it a lot. I know that I can do this other job and I am very qualified for it. But what if I got it and then hated it? What if I find out I cannot do all that is expected of me? I love my current position. I really enjoy going to work. A friend of mine at the office keeps giving me a bit of scripture. I keep saying “Yes, I know,” but then I think about this other position again. On my way home tonight I got to really thinking about things. I have got to let God back in charge of this. The scripture that my friend keeps telling me is (Philippians 4:6-7) 6;Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7;And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
You know, we really have to learn to do this in life. It is hard, but when we put God in charge all things will work out. We may not understand why things do not happen the way we want them to, but we can have comfort in the fact that things always happen exactly how and why they are supposed to. Maybe it is because it was a bad move, or maybe it was because something better is around the corner. I am now going to take it as it comes. If it is supposed to be, it will be. Live life by scripture! Mapquest could never get you where the scripture can take you.
