Oh my....I wrote a whole entry and accidentlly deleted it. I was on my way to bed and realized I had forgotten to write today. So here I am again. It's been an interesting day. This morning in my time with God I read about Job. God allowed satan to take everything from Job. God trusted that Job would be faithful to Him even if everything was taken from him. Job had friends that weren't very helpful or supportive of Job. Eventually God steps in and shows Job how powerful he is. He asks Job all kinds of questions that only God has the answers to. Job sees even in his obedience he was still a sinner when hard times came. God blesses Job with twice as much as he had before when he admits he is a sinner and prayers for others.
I also had a talk with Jesus this morning. I realized that all my problems began about 2 months after I started going to church. I found a non denominational church and have not missed a week since the first time I went. Apparently satan has been trying to keep me from getting closer to God. I have developed a deeper relationship with Jesus since being unemployed but those weeds are still in my garden and satan is using them each chance he gets. I told Jesus I have been doing my best and that I deserve His favor as much as anyone else. I told Him I was putting this job problem and my finances at His feet and I was expecting Him to have favor on me and to work this out for my good according to His will.
This afternoon I recieved a call with a potential job offer and it would fix my finances. God showed His grace to me. Now I am expecting to hear from this other person by the end of the week and I am believing in God to give me this job. God is good!!!
After reading Job I realized that satan knows I still have these weeds in my garden and he will use every chance he gets to keep them there. I told Jesus that I was tired of satan attacking me all the time and I asked Him to start fighting for me. I told Him I can't keep fighting satan without His help and that I need Him to help me clean up my garden and make it beautiful.
I asked Jesus to hold me so I don't fall and help me with each step I must take. I believe He is with me and is going to stay by my side and will love and walk with me .
Thank you Lord for the blessings of this day. Thank you for being true to your word and for fighting for me. Thank you for the grace you have shown me. I love You!!!!
