Jobs

With today's economy, it seems like we all live in fear.  Fear of the stock market dropping, fear of our local businesses losing money, and fear of losing our job. God does not want us to live in fear. Psalm 23:4 says "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." 


Our enemies know the impact our jobs have on us. They know that losing our job directly impacts our whole life: time, money, stress, health, happiness, etc. Keeping this in mind, we can only lean towards God to guide us in keeping our current job or finding a new job. If you recently lost your job, it may just be because God has a better job waiting for you, and this was just one of the steps that needed to happen? We do not understand God's plan for our lives, if He revealed everything that was going to happen all at once, we might be terrified or get stubborn.  That is why He chooses to let certain steps take place one at a time and allow us to build up our character and life experiences to be the best person possible for Him. 


If your unemployed, DON'T give up! Sometimes things are the worst before they get better. If you continue to look, God WILL bless you with a job. And as you continue to work at that job for Him, you will continue to be blessed far more than you ever thought. 


Side note: if you are currently not tithing, try it and see how God moves in your life! I bet even the first week will somehow benefit you!
