12 Days Left

Sometimes you have to take a risk, to put things out there, trusting God will provide.  Back in 2007, Jimmy Rollins told the National League East that the Phillies were the team to beat.  Although they went 14 years without making the playoffs, Jimmy had a gut feeling so he spoke up.  The result was the Phillies won 5 straight league championships and 1 World Series Championship.

Back in July, I had a similar gut feeling to Jimmy Rollins.  I felt that I would have a new full time position by August.  Well, if you slept through the summer, there are only 12 days left in August.  According to 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22, we should test everything.  When I contemplate my situation, its not out of the ordinary for God to provide a specific thing for people in need.  Therefore, I believe some way and some how, God is going to provide a position in the next 2 weeks.

Maybe I will be proven wrong or maybe my words will be validated like Jimmy Rollins.  Only time will time as the Lord’s will unfolds.  As for now, all I can do is live out 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, make the most of the opportunities God provides and be available.  The rest is in the Lord’s hand!
