Proverbs 3:5-6…Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;6 In
all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall [b]direct your
paths.
I love these verses and I have read them and quoted them
numerous times, but at times I really feel challenged. Do I really believe
them? Do I believe and trust God to direct my path?
Recently I have applied for two different jobs. I have been unhappy
at my current position and really needed a change. I made it to the interview
list for both jobs, but during the interview process, it became obvious that I
was not the preferred candidate. I was told I had interviewed well. So this was disheartening to me after
putting in many hours of work to prepare for the interviews. It really tests your faith to trust the Lord to direct your
path.
The result of being constantly rejected while trusting that
the Lord is directing your steps takes time to process. You have so many
emotions and you feel like giving up pursuit of anything else. Each person deals with this differently. You come to the place where you realize that you must
keep going forward and trusting the Lord. The Word tells us that we should trust the Lord. He
really does know what He is doing and He really is directing your steps. So, in my pursuit, I will keep trusting that God will open a door for me. A door that He is directing my steps
through.
