Your job is to now live each day to its fullest, always trying to do the best at whatever God will be calling you to do for Him on that particular day. If you can learn how to keep this kind of mindset, you will be less likely to throw pity parties when things do not go the way you think they should.
What this verse means is that at times you will have to plan things out, try to figure things out, start testing things out. As you are doing all of this, God will then direct your steps as you are walking them out, and before you know it, you will then end up at the place where God will want you to be at. This verse perfectly fits into what you are dealing with right now on your job situation. You now have to seek after this next new job, but as you are in the process of seeking after this next new job — God will then make sure that He perfectly guides your steps all the way so that you can then land in the next job that He will want you to have.
Here is another very powerful verse that will tell us that God will provide us with His divine protection if we are willing to listen to Him and follow His ways. If you do, then God will give you safe and secure dwelling in this life and protection from evil things! This is a very powerful promise for all believers.
Many Christians find themselves in one dire circumstance after another as a result of not listening to God and doing what He wants them to be doing with their lives. The next 5 verses will tell you that God will now be fully guiding your steps in this life. These are extremely powerful words. And all of this is given to you free of charge. This is why the Bible tells us that we can now cast all of our burdens and cares upon the Lord — because it is now His job to take full and complete care of all of us from the moment we fully surrender everything over to Him.
This next verse now goes one step further and specifically tells us that it is not our responsibility to direct our own steps in this life, that this responsibility now belongs to God and God alone! This next verse is especially for you. Notice the last sentence where it tells you to trust in God, to wait patiently for Him, and that He will bring it to pass! Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass … Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.
I know it can get rather stressful and trying while waiting for God to bring this next job to you — but this is where you really have to give yourself pep talks from time to time when you start to get too down, just like a professional athlete does when he starts to go into a slump. The professional athlete can either quit, or talk himself back into the game until he gets his swing or shot back. In this game with God, we have to give ourselves pep talks from time to time, telling ourselves that God has complete control of our entire situation, that the ship is not going to sink, and that our breakthrough will come at the exact time that He has it set up to occur on His timetable.
Otherwise you will drive yourself crazy with all of the nervous energy that will start to eat at you and rob you of your peace and joy that you now have in the Lord. When it is all said and done, you will look back on all of this and see that you had wasted a tremendous amount of negative energy, since it will have been shown to you that God finally came through for you.

This article could even prompt someone to reflect on their own relationship with God.. In other words, this article can be instrumental in Saving a Soul! Thank you for writing this. In the last 36 months, I have worked a total of 14 months of that. My breaks were covered by unemployment and I had to take very little out of savings. Family members even blessed me with money without asking. During the 2nd break I finally let God in control and asked what he wanted me to do and within a couple of weeks of my unemployment money ending I got job and it was like clockwork.
I thank God for all the breaks he has given me and each time I get closer to him and let him be in control. I am letting God direct my steps and open and close the doors where needed I just need to obey and follow his desires and leave it up to him whether he gives it to me or not. God bless you all!!!!!! If you are working under somebody , that is not your final destination, what God wants us to is to find our purpose in life, the purpose of our life can only be discover when we have strong connection with God, Christ, And Holy spirit, when you have them and you are obedient to them, ask them to direct you to your purpose, any thing they put into your mind, do it, it will direct to where you really desire in life and Give you peace.
In Genesis God blessed man to have dominion, man a ruler to creation and servant to mankind. I have read this blog several times in last several months — having been out of work since September, It has been a great encouragement to me during an incredibly difficult season and I wanted to thank you so much for your beautiful encouragements. Sometimes, two are better than one — when the self encouragements need re-enforcement, it is a wonderful blessing to have a brother or sister come alongside to help hold us up. Thank you for much — you are a great blessing to me.
I was looking up something else from the Bible and this what popped up, I kept reading, and it was identifying with what exactly I am going through.
Autarkeia, or, The art of divine contentment by Thomas Watson.
Wow, I am speechless, for real. Thank you to the person who did this bible article. S God is always on time, and to Him be the glory, Amen….. God had,has and is going to help me forever. I feel He has compassion for me. So I was successful in everything that I did. I am truly mesmerized by His love,concern for me. I feel I am His chosen one. My faith in Him will be everlasting. Waw petgectly encouragement, himmmmmmmmmmm, i was at a point of giving up but you encourage me and bring me back, i now know the secret of being patience and perseverance. God is trying to break your wrong beliefs — he wants way more for you in life, he wants you to drop all your preconceived ideas about people, situations etc.
Think to yourself that in 5 years time you are going to look back on your current circumstances and think Oh my God imagine if that situation did not happen I would not have been pushed into a high positive mindset. You also cannot be a part of the great commission, sharing the Good News by staying holed up. When you are a part of an amazing community, part of a great church, there are many opportunities to share your struggles with them, and they in turn can help encourage, guide you to finding a job, finding resources to help you get caught up in your rent.
All of these things are available to you. Trust God, do your part, and allow others into your life and let them do their part. Be humble, love God, love others, and see God do his amazing work through you and others. God wants us in community, building relationships, with him and others.
Praying for you to take that next right step. Grace, You just said all the words I say at some point in time of the day every day! This is right on time for my husband who is searching for a job that will fit our situation and also for me. Amen, Amen and Amen!! God has done that for you time after time???
How has God done that for you? Not by you just waiting, was It, all the ads on this write up is on things you can do to improve oneself, God gives to who he pleases saved and the unsaved, no where does God or the bible tell us what job to take, it is not God that stops us and causes us stress , THESE may sound like facts but they are questions , we have a good life, many do not and cannot get a job and live in peace.
I found this article through I Google search of what do I do next. This was meant for me…. After reading this and the scriptures I feel like God knows exactly where and when He will place me in this new opportunity and I just have to exercise my faith and patience. Finding hard to literally obey the Word leaving the family and world, giving up home etc. I do pray and meditate but unable to hear any still small voice giving me guidance, so i have taken a step to work as a challenge and if the Lord is upset with this decision he will show me some sign or hurt my work, so that i am discouraged and return to find meaning of life in him.
He is a compassionate Friend. O the tendernesse and sympathy of our friend in Heaven! He is a constant Friend. What though I am despised, yet God loves me? Alas, what is reproach? I have not that esteem from men as is suitable to my quality and graces. And doth this trouble? The world gives her Respects as she doth her places of preferment; more by favour often, then desert. Hast thou the ground of reall worth in thee? Let this content; no matter with what oblique eyes I am looked upon in the world, if I am rectus in curia, God thinks well of me.
The world may put us in their Rubrick, and God put us in his black-book. Take heed of pride; O had others a window to look into thy brest, as Crates once expressed it or did thy heart stand where thy face doth, thou would'st wonder to have so much respect. Your sufferings are not so great as your sinnes. Art thou under sufferings? One said, I am in prison till I am in prison; thou countest that a trouble which others would have worne as an ensigne of their glory. The words me thinks are Davids Letany; from men of the world which have their portion in this life, Good Lord deliver me.
The world is first musicall, and then tragical; if you would have a man fry, and blaze in hel, let him have enough of the fat of the earth. O remember, for every sand of mercy that runs out to the wicked, God puts a drop of wrath into his Vial. So I say, Do you envie the wicked? This proud grasse shall be mowen down. What if poisoned bread be given to dogs?

The long furrowes in the backs of the godly have a seed of blessing in them, when the table of the wicked becomes a snare, and their honour their halter. The times are full of Heresie. We live in times wherein there is a sluce open to all novel opinions, and every mans opinion is his Bible.
Bad men; Errour discovers such as are tainted and corrupt. If a man hath the Plague, it is well it breaks forth; for my part, I would avoid an Heretick as I would avoid the Divel, for he is sent on his errand. I appeale to you, if there were a Taverne in this City, where under a pretence of selling wine, many hogsheads of poison were to be sold, were it not well that others should know of it that they might not buy?
Thus our love to Christ and zeale for truth doth appear. God shewes who are the living fish, viz.
How Does God Guide Us?
Thus the truths of God have come to be more beaten out and confirmed; as it is in Law, one man laying a false title to a piece of land, the true title hath by this means beene the more searched into and ratified: Truth is an heavenly plant that settles by shaking. Paul once a persecutor; Augustine once a Manichee; Luther once a Monk; but by the severe and holy carriage of the godly, were converted to the faith.

Thou sayest, thou canst not discourse with that fluency as others. Experiments in Religion are beyond notions, and impressions beyond expressions. A sanctified heart is better then a silver tongue. Prayer is a matter more of the heart then the head. Humility is better then volubility; here the mourner is the oratour, sighes and grones are the best Rhetorique. Alas, my disquiet and discontent is not so much for my self, as the publick. The Church of God suffers. The ship in the Gospel was tossed, because sinne was in it; but it was not overwhelmed, because Christ was in it. God hath alwayes propagated Religion by sufferings.
Religion is that Phenix which hath alwayes revived and flourished in the ashes of holy men.
God Will Guide Your Steps
It is not my trouble that troubles me, but it is my sins that do disquiet and discontent. This is not sorrow, but rather sullennesse, and doth render a man not so much penitentiall, as Cynical. And thus I hope I have answered the most materiall Objections, and Apologies which this sinne of Discontent doth make for it selfe.
