II Chronicles 1:1
"And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his Kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly."
Whenever the Lord is with us in our careers or our projects, positive results will follow. Because the Lord was with Solomon, he became a great king. It is wisdom to endeavor to stay in the will and plan of God for our lives. His will is usually a matter of following what is in our hearts, especially when we are endeavoring to worship and obey God in our everyday lives. As we delight ourselves in Him, He places desires in us. As we pursue those desires and keep God first, we will experience success.
It is important that we be willing to give up anything that is not producing results. We should never keep pursuing something that God is not a part of. Sometimes we just need to be patient. Other times we need to give it up. It is such a waste of time to keep working at what God is not interested in. Good works are not always God's works. Even success is not always an indication that God is with us. However, lack of progress and failure can never be blamed on God, and we should not make excuses for carrying on an unproductive work in the name of the Lord.
Let us be willing to change when it is time to change and try to hold fast only to that which God is a part of. First of all, we need to seek the Lord daily for His wisdom and guidance. Then, we need to monitor our progress and demeanor as we proceed. All the ways of God produce peace and good results. If we are losing our sanity over something, that is an indication that we have left God and taken off on our own. He may have been with us in the beginning, but our anxiety and frustration means we need to find where we left Him and return there.
I will monitor my progress in my career and in my projects. If God is with me, all will turn out well, and I will be at peace. I will not hesitate to let go of endeavors I perceive God is not with me in. I will determine what needs to be done as I observe the effects of my pursuits. The Lord will guide me continually, and I will follow Him.
