God's rejection is Your Blessing.

Is it me, or God's block game is extra lethal?
Is it just me or do you feel you can never catch a break?
God, Block Game is Mighty and Strong
God has me crying sometimes. I think something is for me, pray and then BLOCK! I will be so mad. I'm like God. Why?! The truth is people are being tested daily. Situations change when someone makes a decision that is not in alignment with God.
This example is something I wrote a few months ago:
One day, God told me to submit my two weeks' notice at my old job. I started telling people I had a salary job at X company. I didn't get it. When I was offered the position a year ago. I wasn't ready. But Now? I was ready for MORE! It was a full-circle moment. I prayed, and The Lord confirmed it was for me, and I got into the interview. It did not go the way I expected it to. I cried. It made me feel like I wasn't worthy. It made me feel like I wasn't worthy of anything more than working these "part-time" retail jobs
God's Covering
Some people would immediately start questioning God. I can understand why, but I had grown to a certain level of wisdom and understanding that I knew there was a reason behind this no. I was like, 'God, did I not do a good job? Did I not prepare enough? WAS THIS NOT FROM YOU? WAS I TRICKED?'
Honestly, the answer came a few weeks later in prayer. "thank you for protecting [TROYSHA] from X company. We don't know why, God, but we thank you anyway." That's when it clicked. I sat back after the prayer and replayed the interview and the email she sent after I asked for feedback. She was rude and acted like that was"just business" people. I know now that you can be in leadership and still have compassion.
"You think I want to work for a company like that?"
GRATITUDE IS THE ATTITUDE!
To some of you reading that example, you might think it's not that big of a deal. God knows us better than we know ourselves, and God saying "no" is not a bad word. In this case, God was positioning me for my new job. That block saved me from what would've cost me so much heartache! Sometimes we look at what God blocked instead of the protection in it. I know I am moving UP! God always has our best interests. God LEVELS UP- not down. The only time he'll set you back is so he can propel you forward!
I hope you gained something today! SEE YA in the Next one!
