It just figures sometimes, doesn’t it? Today I found out that my position in a secular company is being eliminated in January. I’m not the first and I won’t be the last person who lost his or her job in resent times. Many have been affected by the recession.

So, here’s a word to me and anyone else who is listening - What I’m trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don’t be afraid of missing out. You’re my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself.” Luke 12:31The Message

Although the news I received today wasn’t good, these are still good times. I have faith, health, a wife who loves me, friends, a new granddaughter, and a Father who knows my needs before I even ask.

Turning bad news into Good News!
