Transitions can be scary, but learn to trust the God who holds your future through all the transitions you encounter. Here is a dynamic word from guest blogger, Delphine Riley. I pray it blesses and encourages you.
A few years ago I went through a transition on my job but didn’t know that God was preparing me for my current position with another company. For months I had a desert experience where I felt disconnected with my coworkers and everything pertaining to that company. I finally asked God “what is going on with me?” and I believe the answer He gave me is for a lot of you. Just replace “job” with ministry,” relationship, or what ever your desert place may be. Here is what God told me:
“The reason you feel that you can’t find your place in this company is because this company is not a long term place for you. You’re only passing through. If I allowed you to get comfortable and “fit in” you will become stuck and not move when I say move.”
God is the owner of everything in this universe, and if He wants to elevate you there’s nothing man can do to stop it. Don’t spend your time getting frustrated with people when it seems like they are trying to hold you back or take something from you that you feel you are entitled to. God will fight for you if there is a battle to be fought.
“So don’t get distracted with what’s going on around you, but know that there is always a bigger picture. You’ve only seen a part, but I have something greater for you! Keep your ear close to my lips and I will tell you what to do, how to do it and when. Don’t listen to the opinions of man, but listen to me. I will steer you in the right direction, and the end result will be great, saith the Lord.”
Delphine always has a good word for us. If you are in a desert place right now trust God to bring you out. Ask him for directions and then follow His directions. He always has something greater for you.
Know this: “I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” (Philippians 1:6 AMP)
