Tomorrow is my job interview. While I'm a little nervous about it, I'm not nearly so anxious as I once would've been. Philippians 4:6 says "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." I've been praying a lot this week about this interview. The thing is that while I've prayed that I would trust God whether I get the job or not, I haven't prayed that He would give me the job, but that I would trust Him that His will would be accomplished.
For me, it has more important for me to trust God whether or not I get the job. Ecclesiastes 7:14 says "In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other…" I need the constant reminder that God is sovereign in all circumstances, good and bad. I need to trust The Lord if I get hired tomorrow, and I need to trust Him if I walk in there and find they've already hired someone else (it was implied that others had already been interviewed by the suggestion that a decision could have already been made by the time they saw me).
I keep thinking about last interview and how I really wasn't supposed to get that job. That interview was meant to be a learning experience, one I really needed. I should've been ready to be interviewed and I wasn't. But I need to remember, The Lord knew I needed that experience. I needed to trust The Lord in that circumstance, and I needed to be prepared for it. God is sovereign, but His sovereignty doesn't absolve me of the responsibilities I have.
Anyway, I'll write again tomorrow to let you know what happens.
