The daunting truth that rules our day-to-day life is fear of losing certainty while
being employed and in a secure position. You will notice even a person with a regular source of
income is scared that at some point he/she may lose the same. Insecurity develops not only when one is employed, but even while one is unemployed. In order to hold on to his security, compromises and adjusts himself to the good and the bad things variably.
There is nothing in this world that guarantees a 100% secured job, perfect business plan or great income generation model. All decline at some point of time. The wisest king Solomon states this life philosophy which is recorded in the Bible, "What does a person gain for all his efforts that he labors at under the sun? A generation goes and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.". Human beings are temporal, existing the earth for a very limited period and soon vanish.
There was a period of time when I was going through serious hardships and crisis. It looked like it is never going to end. All hope of being saved was lost. And during that period of time, I leaned to put my trust on God and experience Him in a newer way. This increased my faith and love for Him. The promises Christ made came true in my difficult moments, especially when my financial commitments were overwhelming. If there is ONE single fact in support of my belief, that would be His resurrection, the validity of scripture that Jesus is resurrected and is alive. And what Jesus claimed became real to me which said, "because I live you will live also.". Historical, genealogical, and geological proofs back up this truth. I recommend “Evidence That Demands a Verdict” by Josh McDowell if you’d like to see all the evidence compiled in one place.
Hope is something that I did not find when I had a guaranteed employment but found in the lowest point of my life. The Bible states, "Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.". You cannot go unnoticed or you can disappear from His sight. When you trust in the Saviour you remain secure. Remember this, you did not just appear in this earth due to a chemical reaction or coincidence. You have been planned by God to appear in the times that you are currently in. Believe that you are strategically positioned. Accept Him the Lord of your life by commiting your life to Christ. The providence of God in your life is limitless.
