Recently while traveling, we passed a bill board that said, “There’s a better job out there….” I can’t really remember the rest of the advertisement, but I suspect it had to do with a specific field of labor that was offering the possibility of employment. But as my mind kept toying with this idea it made me ask myself: What does your job say about you? Is money all that matters? Is moving from location to location a good thing? What if you’re happy with your present job, is another still better? What if there are no jobs? How do you deal with this created discontent? What if you are under-qualified or overqualified? What about training, college, commuting, or the need for the extra expense of work clothes?
---As you can see I just came up with a whole lot of questions about a simple statement! Given our current economy, jobs are at a premium. I don’t know if “better” is the right word, or “a job” would be more accurate! In any case, the whole job issue, or lack thereof, creates an amazing amount of stress and concern in many, many families. Worry is rampant all over our nation, and worry makes a body exhausted very quickly! Many have lost their jobs and agonize about how they will pay bills that keep coming, fearful of not even having enough money to put food on the table, troubled about how they can take a sick child to the doctor or buy a tank of gas to get them to work and back, if indeed they have a job.
The book of Proverbs holds a wealth of treasure! The scripture I read today, reassures me that when we search His word, we will find answers. When we believe that He will answer our prayer and our needs, we can have peace. His eyes are on the sparrows and they are also on each one of us. If we believe, we can know that he will never leave us and will provide the means to see us through whatever trouble comes our way.
