I keep reminding myself of this truth. Today my husband walked in the door at 9:30am...after just leaving for work at 7:15am. You see, we've been walking a hard road for two months now. After having to quit his job, the only decent work he's been able to find so far is with a computer temp. agency. He's been there for about 4 weeks. One of the potholes in this "hard road" is that with temp. work, you never really know IF you'll have work the next day...or THAT day...or that week. I think he worked a 40 hour week the first week. Today he went in and they said, We do not have work for you." ie: no pay. To all of you men out there, isn't that like one of the hardest things to hear??
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is FOR US. Yet, in every day reality, when you run out of milk, or gas, or money to pay an overdue bill...well, that's when I repeat above said statement: "GOD IS GOOD...GOD IS GOOD!!"
We've not gone without a meal. We have a little gas in the cars. Our kids are healthy. I have a husband who prays with me and for me.
PHILLIPIANS 4:12
12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Ok, maybe I needed to write this and then READ this for myself. It's all about perspective. Thanks for listening!
