This past week, I have seriously applied to around five jobs. This means that I tailored my resume, specifically for each job & wrote a cover letter. I ultimately ended up applying to over ten jobs (including three internships & two volunteer options), but five of those jobs I took completely seriously.
It can be overwhelming. It can feel defeating to know that 85% of the jobs will never even send a rejection letter. You just won’t hear anything. It gets more confusing when you believe that certain jobs CAN be an answer to your prayers.
Psalm 37:4-7 reminds me that my job as a Christian is to “[t]rust in the LORD & do what is good; dwell in the land & live securely. Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you your heart’s desires. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act, making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday. Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil plans.”
This is not an easy task.
I have to ask myself the questions: Do I Really Trust in the LORD? Do I Really Do What is Good? Do I dwell in the land with security? Do I take delight in the LORD? Do I commit my way to the LORD? Do I Trust that He Will Act? Am I really able to be silent before HIM? Do I wait expectantly for Him?
Truthfully, no, I AM agitated by the one who prospers in his own way, carrying out his own evil plans.
