And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.~Hebrews 11:11
It is so, so easy to look at all that is around me and to feel the flood of emotions pulsing through my body. It’s easy to forget that the promise of hope, peace, and provision is not from a man; but rather from God who is faithful and true. So as I sit and wait to learn the outcome of my job my heart receives the healing it needs to keep beating. My lungs receive the strength to keep taking steady breaths. My limbs keep moving because the promise is not based on me. The promise is based on His faithfulness and the enduring love of God.
Perhaps you face a similar dilemma. You too may be clenching your fist trying to hold back the panic. You are not alone, we are not alone. Our shield of faith, our Savior, stands ready to defend. So inhale His love and let His peace wash over you. Reject the worry and choose the better thing, trust in the One who Saves. May we remember where the promise comes from and praise Him in advance.
Father, I thank You for the timely word from You. I thank You for Your Spirit that gives me the strength to endure and wait on You. Thank You for your faithfulness, love and grace. In Jesus name. Amen
Keep the faith, Jennifer. Promotion comes from God. God is unable to promote us if we were unwilling to take the next am step. If God allows you to be laid off, He is likely preparing the your new job that will be a biess

DeleteWhen I look back on my life, all my sins and all the times I ignored God's loving plan for me, I see how badly I stumbled. I see the messes I made and the consequences I experienced because I insisted on "doing it" my way. BUT THANKS BE TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER!! His grace allows me to see that he was right there with me, patiently & lovingly calling me back to him. When I gave up my stubbornness & gave my life to Him he welcomed me into His glory. SMH! I now know that, there go I only by His grace. This IMPERFECT SINNER is grateful to her Lord for his steadfast, redeeming love!!! I no longer rely on my human expectations. His grace taught me to believe that this sinner is His beloved who is deserving of the glory he wants to pour over me. I believe !!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah! All praisesbe unto the Lord. Thank you for sharing your testimony of faith.
