In December I lost my job and was also denied unemployment benefits. To say that I was scared and fearing the worst would be an understatement.
I had many nights when my mind would race and think the worst, but then I would turn it over to God the best I could and He always gave me peace and I was able to sleep through the night.
During this time, I prayed that God would give me a verse to hold on to until I found work and while I was trusting God to meet my needs.
I believe God gave me Proverbs 3: 5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."
After i felt like God gave me those verses it was just amazing how God would remind me of that verse. It popped up on Facebook one day, showed up strangely enough in a funeral I attended and just today after my good news (getting to that) a church close to where I live posted it on their outdoor billboard.
Yesterday I was offered a job! And to see that verse today yet again, it was like God saying: "See, I had you in my hand all the time."
I write this to encourage you, whether you are a believer or not to trust God and reach out to him in your good times and bad and watch what He does. He doesn't work in our timeframe, but He is working it out for our good and working on our character in the meantime.

Until next time, please sit on your sandals!
