Over the last week, a person very close to me was blessed with the news that they are going to be getting a new job pending one final approval which seems to be very certain.
What would take pages to write is the amount of effort that it took to persevere in applications, interviews, conversations and speculations that preceded this offer.
This reminds me of how it very often is with prayer. It’s a blessing when we see those tangible answers to prayer, but so much goes on behind the scenes that never gets seen or heard because heaven can seem so silent at times. Be sure of this, in the same way that the “wheels of change” were in motion while my friend was making this application, so the “wheels of providence” are moving as you pray. Luke 18 is very clear that perseverance plays a role in answered prayer. If you’re in one of those moments when things don’t seem to be working then have the courage to continue to pray and know that one day God will either answer clearly or show you what needs to change to take you where He wants you to be.
Blessings!
Dr. Jay
