5 Stories From The Bible For Finding A Job
Here are 5 great stories from the Bible for finding a job.
Abiding in Christ – John 15
If we are abiding in Christ and He in us, we’ll be abiding in His Word and if we are, we know God’s will and that makes it easier to pray to God, especially about finding a new job. Jesus said, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). That’s pretty simple. Abide in Christ. Ask what you wish. It will be done for you.
Supplying Every Need – Philippians 4
You may be in great need right now, perhaps even financial need, and a new job would help, but we have a promise from God that “my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). What’s according to His riches? He owns everything, so no good thing will He withhold for those who trust in Him.
The Work of Your Hands – Psalm 90
Whatever we find our hand to do, we are to give it all we’ve got, for we actually labor for the Lord and not for mankind, so “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands” (Psalm 90:17). We are the work of His hands, so when you commit yourself to Him, He will “establish the work of [your] hands.” Believe it.
Asking Anything – John 14
It’s hard to imagine that we can ask God for anything, and if it’s His will, He will grant it. Jesus said, “If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14). Of course, if we are asking for things that are not in the will of God, it won’t do us much good. God will not give us what He knows will hurt us. The job you wanted may not have been good for you anyway, so trust in Him. Perhaps something better is coming.
A Straight Path – Proverbs 3
I’ve walked many a path in the woods before, and not all of them are straight. Some are twisting and winding, and some come near a cliff, but the promise of God is that “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:6). The point of this is to acknowledge Him…and not say that “I did this.” When we give glory to God, He will straighten even the crookest of paths, and that path could lead to a new job you’ve been looking for.
Pray About It
Don’t leave your job search to chance. Pray about it. Perhaps “You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions” (James 4:3). Make sure God’s will is what your will is and then pray for that. Praying for the right job must be for the right reasons and not for spending “it on your own passions.”
If you or someone you know is looking for a job, share these. Maybe it’ll encourage them and help them to not give up, knowing God is sovereign over all things.
