Life is so hard. I am NOT going to sugarcoat it. My husband and I recently got laid off and fired from both of our jobs. Was I freaking out? Yes. Was I scared beyond all reason? Yes. But one thing my husband reminded me of was to trust in the Lord and let go of control (I have a tendency to want to control my surroundings). My husband eventually found a great job. I, on the other hand, am still searching. But, day by day I am becoming more relaxed and at peace with the job the Father wants me at. I know this is not my story, this is not my plan. It is His Plan. It is His story. He will provide and He will make a way.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19
I have also learned that the enemy will use this moment of weakness to try and capture me in his schemes and plot. I have had job opportunities presented to me but I felt in my soul that these were not from God but from the devil. You nor I should succumb to weakness. The devil loves to use our moments of weakness to capture us and frighten us into giving up quickly. I know you are frightened, tired, scared; “but as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil.” Psalm 23:4
Take this opportunity and this moment with me to be at peace with God and hear the Holy Spirit. Let Him guide you in this hour of grey; this hour of uncertainty. If you can, I encourage you to give back to the community, and to volunteer. Spend time with the Father and listen to what He is telling you in this still hour. He is making a way for you. And with Him, there is all hope.
“We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.“ Romans 5:3-5
