Last week when I was at work, I got a call from my husband. He says, “Guess who is going home permanently??” I tried to guess every name but his because I could not fathom the fact that my man had lost his job. Well it was true – he had been wrongly accused and was ordered to clean his desk and hit the road. A ton of emotions hit me at one time, but mainly I wanted to cry. I also wanted to go home and see about him. But at that moment, I didn’t know what to do.
I started thinking about how bills have to be paid and to keep it real, there is no money in savings. My husband’s car stopped working, we had just started trying to save for a honeymoon since we didn’t do one just after we married, my birthday was coming up. How could satan try to destroy us like this?
Lately I have been reading my Bible a lot and really trying to stay in the Word of God. I know that is the only thing sustaining and keeping me together. The Word says in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper…” so I have to know that whatever the devil tries to throw at us will not stand.
Fred Hammond sings a song “No Weapon” that will definitely get you through this temporary state. Note the operative word temporary because you will not be here for long.
The lyrics say: No weapon formed against me shall prosper – It wont work – God will do what He said would do -He will stand by His Word – He will come through.
That is such a powerful word. You will have to look at the video clip to get the rest of the lyrics, but keep the faith. And having faith is believing in what you can not see. I know that this is easier said than done. Trust me!! But I have to keep the faith and keep believing that God’s Word works for me.
