I was feeling discouraged when I received a pink slip from my place of employment, which is relatively normal in the field of construction. And to be honest, it is sometimes welcomed when it occurs because I am very busy when I working full-time. It allows me to catch up on "Life." But this time, I wasn't so happy.
My Christmas preparations have not been met yet and I felt a bit of bitterness toward my boss on account of certain employees that I thought I had seniority over. My 'stinkin' thinkin' was begging the question, "Why me? What did I do wrong?"
Years ago I would have filled my extra time with house projects, TV, alcohol, etc. After my encounter with God Almighty a few years ago, I know fill my time with Scripture and biblical messages on the internet, which allows me to draw nearer to God once again. I always find myself pushing Him away when I am caught up with "Life." Why? I don't know. So, being off from work, I have found, hashad its benefits. Less financial currency, of course, but more wealth stored in heaven. I am not encouraging that not working is o.k., we are called to work. (Genesis 3:19) However, God appears to be using this stoppage in my life to slow me down and to draw me closer to my Lord Jesus Christ.
