1 Peter 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…
Going back to a time in our lives when it was a season of financial decrease, there was a job opportunity that came knocking on our door. We were excited about the offer! Although, the more we prayed about it, the more we felt like it was not for us. Why God, Why?
So do we just stop praying and push through, taking the job offer that we think is perfect for us? Well, I guess we could have, but instead we did choose to humble ourselves and do it God’s way.
Too many times we have tried to do it our way and too many times it has come back to bite us.
We were in a situation where this job would have helped us out a lot, no doubt about that. We thought it would have brought stability, and it definitely would have. But It was not the answer to our prayer. It was not what God had for us at this time and this season in our life.
It was a hard thing to refuse that job, and our logical thinking was puzzled over it, but in our spirit man we knew it was what God wanted us to do.
It wasn’t until months later, we realized that if we had taken that position, we would have ruined great opportunities that were meant for us and It would have taken up all our time and energy.
Be careful when choosing the door to walk through. It is not always the one we think it might be. We need to be prayerful and humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.
