The Paradigm Shift of a Heart: Glorifying GodPosted by Veronica Han in Untagged |
 |
So I started to pick up job searching slowly again. I have to be honest. I was a bit discouraged by the job market the past two weeks (as I've mentioned in my last post). I'm thankful that there are jobs still out there, but the amount of candidates applying to a single job has increased tremendously. I heard a statistic on the radio a few weeks back, saying that there used to be two candidates per open position, whereas now there are hundred or even thousands. Crazy...
How could I ever compete? It demonstrates that no matter how qualified I may think that I am, it seriously is and has always been up to God.
I was listening to a sermon by Pastor Tim Chaddick of Reality LA Church. He was saying how so often we pray for God's will and purpose to be revealed to us in our vocational or personal decisions, but how rarely we forget our end goal of glorifying God.
I'm beginning to see the importance of being rooted in God's word. I thought that spending equal time with God as I do job searching would be sufficient enough for me to remain focused, but then I recall what the Word says:
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
- 1 Corinthians 10:31
So the key is that rather than separating God from my life, God needs to be incorporated in all aspects of my life, even in the most mundane activities.
