Work is tough. Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and He told them that work would be hard, it has been just that. I grew up believing in the American dream. That a person could find employment doing something they enjoyed. At first I did, but over the years things have changed. Now, work is hard and it isn’t enjoyable at all. There are good moments, but mainly those moments are on a personal level.
In these current times we, who try our best to be Godly, are often thrown under the bus, lied about, ridiculed, and mistreated even though some of the treatment goes against the business code of conduct.
If I had things my way I would be living in an RV, traveling across America, writing. I want this kind of life. I desire this life with everything in my heart. Then I read Proverbs 16:9:
We plan the way we want to live, but only GOD makes us able to live it.
My faith in God requires that I believe this from God’s word. More importantly, I live it. The worst thing I could do is try to make the life I so desperately want happen. I yield to the truth that if God wants it to happen, then it will, but in His timing, and in His way. Hopefully doing so will help me to be wise.
“Hi. My name is Jesus Christ. I’m not running for your vote to be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords for I already am. I do give you promises though. I promise to never leave you nor forsake you. I promise to love you and accept you even if no one else does. I promise to stick closer to you than a brother, and unlike others, I never break my promises. Also if you bring to my house just 10% of what I have already given you I promise to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings upon you.”
