Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."
Ever since the start of this recession, there has been widespread panic. People have been losing jobs by the 100's of thousands! Houses have been foreclosed on, cars repsossed, and some have even committed suicide as a means of escaping what they felt would be a horrible life of hell on earth.
But everything you've been seeing is a result of fear. Everyone is afraid that they think they won't be able to make it to the next day or week, not to mention the next year or more! The problem is that so many people are relying on the world's system to get us out of a spiritual dilemna. What do I mean by this? Instead of relying on the world (ie: your employer, your paycheck, your business), rely on God who is our true provider. When you live God's way, you don't experience recession like the world does. When you have God in your life, you have hope that no matter what comes your way, He will protect you and provide for you. When you trust God to be your provider and you confess things over your life you will begin to see God work in your life in miraculous ways. A stranger will come up to you and give you money. Your bank account will have deposits and you won't be able to explain where they came from. You will get unexpected checks in the mail. Amounts of money you thought you were getting will be amazingly higher than the amounts you were expecting.
When you put your trust in God you will see the awesome power of God over and over again. I'm not saying you won't experience some challenges but the difference is that you have the hope that rests in Jesus Christ. You have the knowing that whatever you're going through the the Lord WILL see you through it and bring you out if you ask Him. You will have the assurance that God says in His word when He says, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”(Hebrews 13:5 NIV)
God is always with you even when you don't feel Him there. He will carry you through any recession, depression or any challenging time and you will prosper in the middle of the worst of times beyond anything you can imagine!
Trust God to bring you through and he will do it. Once you put your trust in God, then stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!
God bless you,
