My husband was devastated when he was fired from the job of his dreams. He believed that he would move up that corporate ladder,become CEO and retire with a comfortable pension and live happilyever after. God had other plans.
Over the course of several years, no real job offers came. My husband took a couple of temporary assignments, but it appeared no other company wanted him. Eventually, with our savings dwindling, he started his own company out of desperation. Through the years, God has blessed us beyond measure. My husband now loves to tell this story of how God dragged him, “kicking and screaming,” to the blessings that He had planned for his life.
Often times we think we know what we want. While we pray and ask God to bless us and lead us, we are not willing to relinquish our own desires and trust God to do His will for us. His will is always better than anything we could possibly craft on our own. God allows us to venture off course from time to time. Other times, he drags us “kicking and screaming” in order to answer our prayers.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for blessing us. Help us remember that your way is always better and that you love us and will never lead us astray.
Thought for the Day. Let God lead. He has a better plan.
Prayer Focus: The Unemployed.
Read: Psalm: 128:1-6
You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How happy you will be.
How rich, your life. -Psalm 128:2 (NLT)
