11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalms 16:11
Have you ever gotten the answer No? I am sure everyone has experienced a "no", "not right now", "not at this time", and even a second or third "no" about the same request. As we go through our life and interview for things, try new things, and work for things, sometimes the answer might be no or it might be not right now. I know that when you pray desperately for something and not get it, the timing can be frustrating but also educational. If we look deeper into God's plan for our life, He will always provide, He may just not provide it in our timing. So, the "no" we receive is not something that we need to always move on from, because it might be really a "not right now." The timing may be way off for God's plan, even though you think you are ready. So what do we do? We continue to lean into God's plan for us, and if He shuts a door completely, we will know. The path will be lit bright when we know the outcome of His plan for us, and I know that He will make it very clear. Don't be discouraged by that first no, but be encouraged that you went through what you did to get that first no. Keep on working hard, and turn that "no" into a huge "yes".
Have a great weekend.
Matt
