The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. Psalm 18:2I've been incredibly negative lately. I'm sure those who are around me have noticed.
The teachings of the Lord are perfect; they give new strength. The rules of the Lord can be trusted; they make plain people wise Psalm 19:7
The Lord saves good people; he is their strength in times of trouble. Psalm 37:39
I'm just sick on this job search. I'm sick of filling out applications. Getting call-backs, setting up interviews, not getting jobs, turning down jobs.
I'm just ready for it to end. All of it.
I thought I was doing well, spiritually and emotionally. But the truth is, you can't measure how strong you are in the good times. Body-builders don't measure their strength when sitting on a couch. They measure it based on how much stress and pressure their muscles can talk. I can't measure my spiritual strength when everything is good. I takes a good dose of stress and pressure to see how strong I am.
The truth is, when the hard times come, you truly figure out how weak you are.. How much you can't handle.
And hopefully, you remember how strong God is. How He can take care of everything. He will handle your problems.
I'm not that strong. I'm not as strong as I think I am sometimes. But God always is. He will not let me down.
So while I'm tired of trying to find a job. Weak-spirited. Sad. God is strong for me. He's got it covered. He's my strength in times of trouble.
