“When All Is Lost”

Saturday, June 01, 2013

I've lost my job and I have a family to take care of. What are God's promises about my financial situation?

Sincerely,
At A Loss

Dear At A Loss,

We are so sorry for what you are going through.  Here are some verses we have taken comfort in during times of great stress, loss, or financial difficulty:

• I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. (Ps 37:25)
• And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. (Rom 8:28)
• Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matt 6:31-33)

God guarantees that He will care for His own.  All we need to do is remain faithful to Him through the waiting.
