1. God Owns All Silver And Gold. (Haggai 2:8)
If He is the owner of everything then why should I be worried about my tomorrow? Sufficient for the day is its own trouble (Matthew 6:34). Since most of the things, we tend to worry about and get anxious about never really happen in real life. It’s all in our minds and If we’re not at peace in our minds then worry and anxiety will rule. I’ve been learning that I should carry everything that’s taking my peace to Him in prayer and He will give me rest.
2. It’s Time To Reinvent Myself:
I have many talents and there’s a time when I would have to increase my knowledge about something or learn something completely new. I’ve done babysitting, I’ve worked as a hairstylist, I’ve worked in an open office, I’m a writer for this blog, who knows where or what I’ll end up doing next? Don’t worry, it won't be flying a plane, alright?
3. Be Humble:
There’s nothing wrong with feeling a sense of pride in what we do for work and get paid really well for it. But when something that has become a part of our routine, even our lives had been taken away from us, it’s so easy to be filled with despair, even a sense of loss but not when God is with me. If He’s with me then what do I have to fear? All I have to do is simply trust that He will provide exactly what I need at the right time. Oh! And it may not be at the time I want it to happen either!
4. When One Door Closes, Another One Opens:
Yes, one hundred percent! Being made redundant is not the end of the world...yet! (the end is near though, look around you, look at the news, did you see how a virus was able to bring nations to their knees, countries to a standstill? Now, where were those who had so much power here on earth to stop it?) something for you to ponder. Anyway back to what I was saying earlier, that when one door closes a better one will open. This is the faith that I have. No matter the circumstances around me, the God that I serve is able to do exceedingly abundantly above whatever I ask for. (Ephesians 3:20)
5. It’s Nothing Personal:
That’s right being selected for redundancy is not personal. It is a business decision and unfortunately business decisions can and do affect the livelihood of people’s personal life. No doubt. And so for me, the previous four (4) lessons I’ve learned so far has really helped me to be objective about the situation, welcome it with open arms and still be able to hold my head up high and keep it moving. I believe that it is a nudge for me to move in the direction that God wants me to take and as I’ve mentioned in one of my previous posts is that I don’t need to see the full staircase all I need is the faith to take the first step.
So there you have it. In the world around us, this is the news we read, watch and listen to but it's not about what happens to us it is our attitude towards it that will separate the winners from the naysayers. My question is, which one are you?
Until next time.
