2. Faith in God’s provision
You have to go a long way nowadays to find a subject that will test our faith in God’s
provision for our lives more than our employment situation. I started off this blog by asking:
what is your current job situation? Well, according to government figures (May 2012), many
workers in the UK, to be precise 1.77 million, probably feel like Sandra Bullock on that
doomed bus. This is the number of underemployed people in the UK, who are working part-
time but would rather be working full-time and earning more.
I have no doubt that God is using our employment as a way of deepening our levels of faith
and trust in Him, and I can truly say that 3 years on from losing my job, the Lord has definitely
provided for us financially. Scripture never denies that life will sometime resemble a boiled
sweet, but it also promises that those who trust the Lord will not be disappointed.
Psalm 37:3 - Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
If part-time work is not paying your bills, then I would really encourage you to push-in and
persevere in your prayers for a better paid job. God will not disappoint.
Could this also be an open door?
However, before we rush off to pray for a full-time job, could God be calling you to part-time
work in order to release you into His purposes for your life? All of us are called by God to be
many things such as being an excellent spouse, parent, Sunday school leader etc. Our
career can be a calling, but on the other hand, the job that pays the bills can also facilitate
our main calling. For example, the Apostle Paul was a tent maker and Luke was a doctor but,
for both men, their higher calling was to spread the gospel message.
If you are currently in part-time work, could this be your opportunity to ask God if He was
placed you in this situation in order to release you into your higher calling? If this is so, He will
provide for you in the same way He did for Paul – Acts 18:2-3.
