God and My Career

Lately I’ve been asking God a lot of questions in regards to my future, career, business ventures, creativity, ministry, parenting my child and husbandry… and I’d have to say that I’m no further along than I was before. I am still getting the same answer. I’ve been slaving over work and sparing little time for relaxation in the name of getting ahead. My ideology doesn’t follow or dare try to keep up with the Jones’. I just want to leave and legacy of faith, freedom and finances for my family after I’m gone!
The answer RESOUNDS in my eardrums with two passages of scripture that will not leave me alone. They are:
1. Jeremiah 29:11-14
2. Philippians 4:6-8
They meddle with me in my sleep. They haunt me when I awake. They permeate through my being when I’m overextended in work and up to my head in bills. Jeremiah 29:11-14… Exclaims that God has an amazing future for me! That God’s thoughts for my life are good and not evil and when I choose to call and seek him wholeheartedly he will somehow gather me back together and restore my heart and life. Philippians 4:4-8 states that I need to be joyous in all things and bring my cares to the God of peace who will settle my heart and emotions. This passage of scripture then transitions into a believers thought pattern. It tells us to honor God in our thoughts and speech and if we do so that He will surely be with us.
Because I am human it is easy to lose focus on what really matters. However, God has made things clear in his son Jesus. In my uniqueness and creativity God has made a personal appeal through his Scripture to trust in him for the results! If God knows and he’s not revealing his promises/puroses all at once, right away or at all in my life then I have no other choice but to trust him. So when I find myself stressing out over things that are not in my control (future, bills, doors of opportunity, and etc.) I need to remind myself of what he said in his Scripture. I need to bring my STUFF before God and place my faith in him and not what I can see. God will have my back and help me point my creativity, talents, skills and abilities toward making his name more FAMOUS in the earth.
Be creative with Design and Business and do what God is calling you to do!
