There are three ways my employments situation could go in the short term:
- Nothing. Zilch. Negatori. Nowt. Rien. Nada.
- A permanent job as a staff employee of some company
- A contract job - carry on as I was before I ran out of work.
In prayer I put these paths to the Lord, and asked him which one it would be, and what should I do, now, to bring it about.
I then played 'Holy Horoscopes' with my Bible, opening it at random. (That's always a dangerous game which I don't recommend - you might just as well do the I-Ching. e.g. "Judas went and hanged himself" - "Go and do thou likewise"). However, I picked up Isaiah 54 and 55, reading in 'The Message". These two chapters are full of how God is about to abundantly bless his people after a time of trouble, and that this is 'just around the corner'.
So that was answer number 1 - I believe that this means I will very soon get some contract work.
So what should I do to bring it about? The passage speaks only of what God is going to do, in his time, for his purposes, in his way. So it seems that I don't have to DO anything except wait patiently - answer number 2.
Now of course, I could be wrong. 'Holy horoscopes' is a dangerous game. So don't lose faith if next week I am still posting about unemployment. I still have to go through the motions of job-hunting.
But overall, I am enouraged to believe that in His typical style God will rescue me at the last minute. Or shortly after.
