When has the economy ever been certain? That is a good question.
My family and I get strange looks when we tell people that we are moving out of state, and that we are not sure exactly where we will go, or what job I will have, or how we are going to sell our house in this time when most folks are hunkering down to wait out the storm.
I usually answer their questions and strange looks with the certainty that God is moving us on, and that He isn't concerned with the economy and He knows what plans He has for us.
It is a relatively new place for us to be in as a family, but I think we are coming to terms with having a greater trust in Jesus day by day.
Although we have had quite a few people come and look at our home for only listing it FSBO on Craig'slist for about a month, we have no offers or real interested parties at the time. We are trusting however that in His perfect timing, God has the buyer all lined up.
As we began reading the book of Job as a family in our devotions this morning it became obvious that our ability and need to trust God is so small compared to what it could be. I'm not asking for disaster to strike, but I am asking for God to break us of our dependence on ourselves or the world, or money, or any other thing that would keep us from trusting Him more.
The big things in our lives are really so small to God. There is so much to be said for perspective.
God please give us your perspective of our small lives and what you are accomplishing in us. Teach us what trusting You is really all about, and how far we have to go.
