My wife and I have been in that situation for a long time. She's been unemployed for 6 months and me for 2 months and just yesterday I was to have an interview that got called off due to the ecomomy. It was an insides sales job for a company that thought they could hire 5-6 people. But the owner told them they could only hire 2 and they already had hired 3 and now had to tell him that they were no longer able to keep that promise. It had to be a difficult thing for the managers to do, as well as tell other applicants they couldn't hire, so there would be no use to interview now. If people didn't work out, I was told I'd be at the top of the list, but that was probably a pat statement to everyone, especially the 3rd one they hired and had to let go. Things are tough when you don't know where the money will come to pay rent for next month and food is short, etc. One thing I've told my wife many times and do believe that relates to the above Bible story and God's divine grace is that 'He is in control and  knows our needs.' Relating to Abraham's knife thrusting down, God may be gearing us up for something big.

He may however know that the knife is only being raised and not in the downward motion yet. We still have 15 days of rent paid. But it may be at the last moment He will give us a huge breakthrough when He knows we've trusted in Him to provide our need in His time and in His way. Joshua 24:15 says, 'As for me and my household, we WILL serve the Lord! It doesn't always mean it is easy or comfortable, but we know enough that it is the right thing to do. Trust in the Lord today and TRUST=To Rely Upon The Savior's Timing. Always remember:

 

P.S. I have begun a new xanga site as well titled ChristianProductsReview where I am currently going over the book "Lifestyle Evangelism At Work: trusiting God's sufficiency to overcome your feeling of inadequacy." After summarizing the chapters, I will go into lifestyle applications that will help people grow seriously. Then I will try to write reviews of other articles, songs, etc.

This is a wonderful true story!!!!!!
