Test Me in This
Candi York
I am so very blessed! I have struggled at my job with a bully boss for a long time, about 3 years now. I have prayed to get out by transfer so many times and each time God said no. So from time to time, I have said to Him, "Okay God, I will stay and try to be the best example of a servant I can be." I think I finally meant it this past week. That same night I was told I had the new job at Chick-Fil-A! I had given them my application approximately 3 weeks prior. I thought He was saying no again. So my surprise at this new development was ecstatic joy!
I believe it took all that time for me to learn what God wanted me to learn. I finally learned to rest in his grace in a very bad situation. And all in a matter of one single day, I was blessed with peace, a new job and then my husband came home with the news he was getting a raise!
I believe that I was so blessed also because I tithe regularly. I started small, like 20 dollars and worked my way up to the ten percent. I had money grow in my checking account, I had bills that disappeared for various reasons, money showed up unexpectedly and car repairs were small fixes instead of the big expensive ones we expected. He did say "Test me in this and I will show you." Believe me, God loves you so much, but we must be obedient to His will and He will bless you to over flowing.
I pray this helps someone else decide to have faith in His word and to trust God more.
