Things can happen suddenly. ( Job 1 - 2 )

I know someone who suddenly and unexpectedly has lost his job,he is a Christian,which is good news,because he has a loving heavenly Father who cannot be surprised.He is sovereign.He is in control, and what he requires of His children is trust,whatever you may be going through at this time,He calls us to trust,knowing our times are in His hands.Think of the saints in the Bible,Joseph who  had more than his share of trials,likewise  David hated and hounded by King Saul. Think how suddenly Jobs life fell apart, but his faith remained intake,consider the disciples crossing  the sea of Galilee (Mark 4 v 35 - 41 ).Fear kicked in even though Jesus was with them,,but the good news is He came to their aid,and with that He brought a challenge as to why they were afraid, their lack of faith.The scripture tells us, ''As a father has compassion on His Children ,so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.For He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust'' (Psalm 103 v 15 - 16 ) That does not mean that we are insignificant,it means He knows we are weak, we do not always have faith, we will panic and even question God,but in it all ,He cares for us His children.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Be still, my soul ,thy God doth undertake,                                                                                                To guide the future as He has the past,                                                                                                      Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;                                                                                             All now mysterious shall be bright at last,                                                                                                 Be still , my soul, the waves  and winds still know                                                                                   His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.                                                                                           (Katrina .A. D. Von Schlegel )                                                                                                           ( I will taking a break, I will return ,shortly, every blessing.)
