Waiting on God

I got an email this morning. It was from one of the two organizations I have applied to for a job. To summarize, they received many resumes from people who were better qualified and experienced than I and I would not be receiving an interview opportunity. I have been feeling down all morning. I wanted that job. I needed that job. We move back to the States in two months and we haven't exactly made the kind of money in China that can sustain us without income for a few months when we get back.

I'm waiting on God.

When we decided to move to China, I left a good job that I really enjoyed. I didn't make a lot of money, but it was enough. I left that job saying that, because we were answering His call, when we came back to the States, He would provide and bless me with a new job, maybe even a better job.

I'm waiting on God.

I know it was only the first response I have received. I know that I will find something eventually. I know that I still have work left to do here in China. I know not to be anxious about anything. I know that everything is in His hands.

I'm waiting on God.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)

He has always provided in the past. I am going to spend a few moments remembering all the times I have had need in the past and how He provided.

I'm waiting on God. And He's always faithful.
