Your Question:
What if I can't work anymore?
Answer:
Losing one's job can be a challenging experience, but as a pastor, I've seen it as an opportunity for growth and redirection. If you can't work anymore, it's essential to remember that your identity is not tied to your job. You are a child of God, and your worth and value come from Him, not from your profession. It's okay to take time to reassess your life plan and prioritize your commitments, especially your commitment to meeting with God daily. As the apostles taught, our work is not a means to an end but a way to serve the Lord. So, instead of focusing on finding a new job, ask yourself, "How can I serve the Lord in this season?" You may find new opportunities to serve through volunteering, mentoring, or simply being present for your loved ones. My wife, Susan, and I have seen this in our own lives, and it's been a blessing to see our children, Joshua and Rebecca, learn from these experiences as well. Remember, God's promises are true, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. He will provide a way out, and you can stand up under the challenge. It's essential to be grateful and serve the Lord from a grateful heart, not just out of obligation. As the apostle Paul said, "You are on a mission." So, instead of feeling defeated, see this as an opportunity to serve the Lord in a new and exciting way.
