Yesterday our household took an economic blow, not bad by some standards but definitely not good. The recession has hit home! yuck, yuck and more yuck.
It all started with a simple text~ it said "in a bad meeting, pay cuts and layoffs". My heart stopped for a moment and then the next one said, " I got a pay cut". Thank you, Jesus. It could have been so much worse~ yes, this I know, but that doesn't help the fact that the pay cut is a huge chunk of our income. Ah ha, just what the devil needed, room to play and boy did he ever start playing.
So now of course, I need to find a job, what about school, should I finish, should I sit out and get a job. What should I do? I have got to help my family. What can we give up? What can we do without? Oh man, Christmas is gonna be limited this year! and on and on and on... WOW, my mind was the devils playground.
Alright Already! This is enough; the pity party must stop now! I serve an awesome God, one who is MUCH bigger than any recession, pay cut or layoff. HE WILL PROVIDE~ HE WILL SUSTAIN~ HE IS, THE GREAT, I AM. The only way to get the Devil out of your thoughts and mind is to beat him down with the Word of God. My dearest friend send me the scripture Phil 4:19 as soon as I told her what happened. Yes indeed, My GOD will meet all of my needs! AMEN. How powerful is that? Yes, take that Devil!
It is human nature to start worrying about all the negative things that can or will happen when something bad happens to us. As Christians, we need to remember that we are not alone, our Father is the KING~ he can do it ALL. His word tells us time and time again that He will provide for us, He knows what we need before we even ask him (matt 6:8)
So it is times such as these that I must constantly rely on the TRUTH and know that the Lord will never let the righteous fall~ I won't fall to pieces, I will fall to my knees!
