The Bible says that the testing of your faith produces endurance. It goes on to say for us to let endurance have its perfect result that we may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
These are spiritual promises for the trials of life. Of course physically and materially we won't be "perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." But spiritually we will be given amazing provision for our every need. Notice that it says that we must "let" endurance have its perfect work.
Bubba's contract job in Washington ended unexpectely two weeks ago. That's the way those jobs go. Here today....gone tomorrow. With the world you never know what is coming next, but with God you know that whatever He brings your way will be for your good.
We don't know what we will do......we don't have a clue. We have floated in the ocean and walked on the beach sharing ideas and possiblities. Some have been exciting and some downright depressing. It's good that we have this time to relax and plan.
Maybe God wants us back in Savannah right now to be better able to care for the needs of our families......maybe he will get another job in DC or somewhere else....humanly we don't have a clue. But we do know that God knows and that's what brings comfort to us. Praise God for the promises of the Bible. I read this today:
James 4: 13-14
"Come now, you who say, ' Today or tomorrow, we shall go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.' You do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."
How wonderful are the promises of the living God as revealed in His Word.
