Would post in /askrpc but wanted a wider perspective from the larger sub.

Scenario:

Job fires a lot of people. Now you’ve been working 4 times the amount of work you used to in order to fill the gap since their work was handed over to the rest of the people that weren’t let go. And you’ve been doing this for 8 months. The pressure is high and the stress even higher.

The volume of work continues to increase but people are leaving and they are not hiring any new people to replace them.

You know this is not where God has placed you for the rest of your life. You know you have a specific purpose/mission to accomplish because that idea(s) hasn’t left your mind in 10 years and it keeps nagging at you to go for it.

Much like the Israelites being led out of Egypt and going in circles for 40 years to claim Canaan but failed due to fear and lack of faith until the next generation.

When do you know the time is right to make the move and initiate change in your life?

Does God make promises in regards to your purpose?

I don’t want to live a life of corporate slavery and be a servant to those who don’t even care about your well being as you are expendable. I want to claim what I believe is mine. I want to walk into Israel so to speak.

Am I looking at this the wrong way or have I been mislead?

If God numbered the hairs on our head, surely he’s got a plan for our lives.

He is a big God, therefore, why should I keep going after the scraps when there’s a land of milk and honey?

The reason it took so long for the Israelites to take Canaan is because their minds were not renewed. They were conditioned to be slaves hence why they were mad at Moses for leading them out of Egypt. They even wanted to go back to their “comfortable” lives. It took a whole new generation to claim the land. Gods purpose prevailed either way and it will prevail with or without you.

So, knowing and having Faith in God, should I take the leap of Faith?

He’s never disappointed me, but Gods timing is perfect and I wouldn’t want to force something I’m not ready for.
