How many of you have been overlooked for a position time and time again, always seeing someone less qualified than you getting the promotion? You were committed, qualified, and more experienced, but never got that break you were expecting. Some would say you make your own breaks, but others just have things handed to them on a silver platter. It's in those times you wonder why the road seems to be so hard for you.
If this has happened to you, you know how painful it can be. You may have been down this road several times and you can tell you it doesn’t seem to get any easier. But along the way, you learn some special things. If God puts a call or desire in your heart, He will be faithful to do it through you. However, He may want you to expand your horizons in order to bring this dream to fruition.
God has put many dreams in peoples' hearts and He will help them to fulfill those dreams. Sometimes it takes a lot longer than you thought it would, but He will come through. God puts a dream in people to reach others throughout their lives and will faithfully provide the resources to do so.
Here's something good to remember. It's not original, but it seems to apply to those wondering why God has seemingly forgotten them when it comes to promotion: "It's not your job to change everyone’s mind. It is your job to obey and do whatever He is calling you to do. Keep yielded to Him and open the door to others, free in your spirit from any feelings of rejection or bitterness. Obey God and let Him take care of the results. It will eventually become clear to everyone that God has His hand on you.”
Sometimes life doesn’t seem fair. Perhaps God is using this “unfairness” to push you out of your comfort zone to show you He has something new and exciting for you to do. Why not ask Him? Ask God to show you other horizons where you can make your dream come true. Be strong and courageous. God will supply your needs.
