Exodus 33:14
The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
Today, this spoke to me. I am starting a new job, and I am moving into a new place. Both of these, separately and collectively, give me anxiety.
I am leaving a job of comfort and routine. This was a place where everybody knew my name. This is the job where I hit the ground running as soon as I arrived there. It is the job I was able to mold into my own. So, naturally, leaving is a bit scary. I was alone a lot, especially on Fridays, but that doesn't mean I lacked in workload. I was busy. But now I'm starting a brand new work-from-home job next week. I am excited and anxious at the same time.
Then there's the new house, the new place I am moving into in October. I am more nervous about this because I'll be moving alone. I am excited to have the entire house to myself. In years past, I've always moved with someone: my daughter, my other daughter and her husband, and my mother. This is the first time in decades that I will have my entire place to myself.
For years, I asked God to bless my finances so that I could afford a place of my own. During those years, God wasn't silent or ignoring my prayers; He was slowly grooming me to steward the small He gave me so I could handle the big He gives me. It was a test of obedience, faith, and patience. All of these qualities, characteristics, and faithfulness were what God was shaping in the background during the silence.
The same God who made the promise to be with the Israelites in the book of Exodus is the same God who will be with me through this new season of life. I am excited to embark on this journey and see the path where God leads me. I pray that His will be done and that I can be used as His vessel to shine in a dark world.
Just as Jabez cried out to God, I pray the same prayer from I Chronicles 4:9: “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me."
