Job

So I was offered a job today. It is a nice job, government, lots of benefits and decent salary. It will give me plenty of experience in the varying aspects of IT. I should be more excited, but I am not. Why?

I have been in the interview process for this position for months. First, credentials are examined. Following that, there was a written test (similar to an exam, without anything to study). After the written test, there was the interview. And finally, my references were called. This has been ongoing since January.

I remember praying at the very beginning of this process. God, I would like this job. He answered, "If you really want this, you can have it.". I have told very few about this prayer and its answer. I don't like saying, God told me this..and then it doesn't happen..and you feel extremely dry. But, it happened! And I cannot help but feel excited...for His blessings, His providence. Thank God!

So the reason, I'm smiling today....the reason I am happy and excited today is not, because God has blessed me with a job. It is, because... my God answers prayers. My God is the living God. :)

EDIT:

I just realized today is my 40th post. 40 was a pretty significant number in the Bible...mostly associated with trials followed by prosperity. So hopefully, the job is the prosperity part..and the trials have already been passed. o_O Regardless, praise God!
