Let's bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance for your son. We commend and pray for your son who is at a crossroads about how to proceed with his career. It's important to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. We should not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, so that we may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. As reminded in Romans 12:2 (WEB):
"'Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.'"
Firstly, it's crucial to acknowledge that God desires for us to seek Him in all our decisions. We should trust in the Lord with all our heart and to lean not on our own understanding but in all our ways should acknowledge Him, and He shall direct our paths. As mentioned in Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB),
"'Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.'"
It's clear that the offer of more money has enticed your son, but it's essential to consider all factors, not just the financial aspect. The working conditions, the longer commute, and the reliability of his car are all critical factors to consider. Moreover, the Bible warns us against the love of money, for it is the root of all kinds of evil. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. As mentioned in 1 Timothy 6:10 (WEB),
"'For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.'"
Let's pray for your son, that God will open his eyes and guide him in making the right decision as mentioned in Philippians 1:9-10 (WEB),
"'I pray that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ.'"
"Father, we come before You, lifting up this beloved mother's son to You. Lord, You know the situation he is in, the decision he needs to make. We pray that You will open his eyes to see the truth and follow Your will for his life. Help him not to be swayed by the promise of more money, but to consider all factors and seek Your guidance. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you and your son to keep praying and seeking God's will.
