Well try telling that to the hundreds of people who lost their jobs last month.If you are married and have a decent job, you have somewhat of a good indication where you are going.
If you can’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others. Pretty simple concept, from my experience.
What I am saying is we don’t know what the future holds and we cannot live our lives on what ifs. We need to be able to trust that God will take care of us as long as we are willing to trust.
Now does that mean we sit back on our duff and just wait for the hand outs? Of course not. Something will come up something always does. We don’t need to hid our heads in the sand and say we can’t move because we don’t “think” we can get it done.
I know a family of seven who were doing very well, when the wife found out her husband was living a whole separate life. No one would have ever of guessed it. She is now raising seven children on her own and I must say she is doing rather well for someone who has been a stay at home mom for well over 15 years.
My own father left us when I was two and my mom was pregnant with her fifth child. Someone with your train of thought would have said she should not have brought that child in the world. But she did. It was not easy since when my father left us he literally left us with nothing, not a house, not a car and not a cent. My grand father turned one of his garages into a two bedroom house for us. Which is were we lived for the next eight years. My mom worked hard to support five children on her own. But it always amazes me when I think back at all the miracles that happened during our struggles. There where times when we didn’t know how we were going to eat when someone would come to our house with groceries. I remember one year when my mom was lay-ed off and she had to let the oldest know there was not a Santa for the simple fact that she could not afford to buy us gifts. That evening after telling us about Santa the local fire station came to our house with a truck load of gifts. I am not kidding a truck load
You see my mom chose to do God’s will and not the worlds and she is now very happy with five children and twelve grandchildren with more on the way. What a sad life she would have right now if she would have chose not to have children because she might have found herself in the situation that fate put us in.
God gives us all trials He will not give us more than we can handle, we most trust that. There is a purpose for all we suffer. In my case going without my whole childhood, made me (and my brothers and sisters) see the importance of hard work and appreciation for what we have. But most importantly it taught us how to trust that we are truly taken care of.
God knows best and we cannot second guess that.
