Discussion Point: How can I move my career forward if it is at a stand still? Can God help me to move my career forward when nothing is happening. If so, how?
Speech: Stagnant, lifeless, standstill, theses are just a few of the words that people use to describe a career that they feel isnt moving forward. When they feel stranded or unable to advance further than they already have. People become bored with life when it begins an endless cycle of repetitive tasks that never seem to end. Discouragement and depression often set in, this makes for a very unpleasant individual.
Although, there is a realization that all need to come to at some point in their lives. It’s simplicity is astounding, and yet the impact it can have on ones life is even more than you can ever imagine. Hard to believe that there are some people that go through their entire life, and never once even think that there must be another way, an easier way, a way where they don’t lose friends and alienate their family.
The realization that we all must come to is that through God, nothing is impossible. All he asks is that we believe and place our full trust in him. We praise him when life is going well, and we praise him even more when life is hard. The promise of Eden was lost when Adam and Eve sinned, meaning that life will not always be perfect.
But as Job is put to the test in the Bible, so are all of we tested. Job was a Godly man who shunned evil and was successful and protected, all through God. However, Satan believed that he knew mans heart better than God, their creator. He told God to strip Job of everything, all his possessions and family, then he would surely curse God. So the Lord allowed it, yet Job still praised God for his health. Again, Satan came into the presence of God and spoke, Surely as the sun you created rises, he will curse you without his health.
Through all of this, Job praised the Lord God. Proclaiming that the lord gives and takes away, that we are to praise him through the good and the bad. Belief and faith that God has a plan for each one of us and the knowledge that you must push forward with your life. God will send his blessings as a rain when the fields of your life are sown with the crops of the kingdom.
