The best thing I’ve experienced today is God’s peace.
If you haven’t experienced it, you’re missing out, and we should talk.
When I lost my job this morning, I was shocked and speechless. It took me completely by surprise. Through the waves of emotions though, I’ve a quiet sense of peace. It was like a whisper in the back of my mind. There’s a voice of hope that says I have something exciting planned. Something better. Something that fits you. That’s the Holy Spirit. The voice of God who speaks peace to my soul and guards my heart.
Don’t get me wrong. I shed enough tears to give myself a headache. I’m bummed to lose a job I enjoyed, but I just can’t shake the thought that there’s something else planned.
Losing my job isn’t an accident, and God isn’t surprised. This is a plot twist. There’s a story God’s written, and only He knows what’s next.
So, that’s my prayer. God, what are you going to do next?
This job was a God sent. He gives, and He takes away. I can’t just follow Him during the seasons of giving. I’m not a fair-weather fan.
Maybe this season is a gift of another kind. In the midst of uncertainty, I rest. This is a time to rest in the arms of the God who never fails. It is a time to wait with anticipation, as He reveals the next pages of His story. Resting is a really good place to be.
