My new job starts tomorrow. I don't feel nervous about it, for now at least. I'm glad about this, because I know it would make kind of drag my feet about going. Not to say that I wouldn't go, but rather that any nervousness would cause me to show up with a certain reluctance. I think it helps that I got a chance to see how things would work when I did my interview.
I hope things go well tomorrow. Admittedly, I am a pessimist by nature. Even if I don't have any reason to be worried, I will tend to be anxious about a situation where's there's a degree of uncertainty. I will say that it has kept me in prayer, as it has motivated me to pray to The Lord that He would help me to trust Him in every situation. Even now, I strive to live a life of trusting The Lord rather than operating out of ungodly, cowardly fear.
It amazes me now that I ever managed to accomplish anything before I got saved. I lived in a world built upon fear and uncertainty, and tried to protect myself by sealing myself away from the world. Obviously, something had to give and the world wasn't going to yield to me, any more than it would yield to the foolish whims of any other man. Proverbs 16:25 says, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." That pretty well covers it.
This new job is a good reminder that God is sovereign in all areas of life, even the little mundanities that we all take for granted.
