Your Question:
What if I never find a new job?
Answer:
My friend, I can only imagine the uncertainty and worry that comes with losing a job. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. If you never find a new job, it's essential to remember that our identity and worth aren't tied to our profession. We are children of God, and our value comes from our relationship with Him, not from our career. As I read through the Bible, I'm reminded that even Job, a righteous man, struggled with feelings of inadequacy and frustration. Yet, he found solace in God's promise of redemption and forgiveness. In a sense, losing a job can be a reminder that our priorities might be misplaced. Are we seeking fulfillment in our career, or are we seeking it in our relationship with God? Perhaps this is an opportunity to re-evaluate our priorities and focus on what truly matters. As Christians, we're called to be ambassadors of Christ, representing Him in all aspects of our lives, including our work. If we're not working, we're not fulfilling our purpose. But, if we're not working because we've lost our job, it's not the end of the world. We can still be on mission, still serving others, and still being salt and light in our community. We might need to adjust our expectations and seek God's guidance, but we're not defined by our job. We're defined by our relationship with Christ.
