Fairy Reading





It's a God job!

There are simply some things in life you are not going to be able to do anything about.
There will be those occasions when you simply cannot change what happens or how it happens.
There will be those times in your life when your hands are tied, your mind is blank, your mouth is shut and you feel totally helpless.
These are God jobs!
These are experiences of God working on you, in you, through you and for you.

Although you want to get involved, although you feel the need to do something, when God is working, your job is to be still!
There is nothing more challenging than sitting through a God job.
Yes, you will feel weak.
Yes, you may feel stupid.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do nor is there anything you need to do except wait.
In the midst of a God job, there is nothing you need to say.
There is no place you need to go.
There is no amount of fixing, figuring out or trying that will make what you want to happen happen the way you want it to happen.
When God is on the job, working on you, in you and for you, there is no one and nothing on the planet that can help you through what you are going through.

On a God job, the only course of action is total, undaunted, microscopic trust.
You must become a child again.
You must trust that you will be fed, that you will be changed, that you will be protected, that every need you have will be met.
It may feel like you are being passive, but the truth is, if you can trust God in the midst of a challenge, God can do more in five minutes than you could ever do in five years.

Yup...I know those times VERY well.

And this is exactly what I learned....

"On a God job, the only course of action is total, undaunted, microscopic trust.

Surrender.

I know it ain't easy, but whenever this has happened to me, I have learned....

"God can do more in five minutes than "I" could ever do in five years."

A-MEN!

Thanks soooooooooo much for sharing this reminder because I know that one day I'm gonna have another one of 'those' times, therefore I can never be reminded enough!

Hope you had a great day, dear lady!
