A time of refreshing.

I know many people have been laid off in the recent years. I know how it feels to have a good job, and good income one day, and the next your left with out that security. There is also the feelings of rejection and second guessing and wondering what to do. As many of you know i was laid off recently from my job. My truck broke down 2 days latter.
The timing couldn't have been worst. I was jobless and with out transportation. i could have really allowed myself to be down. But i relied on God, knowing that the joy of the lord is my strength. There was a time i felt like Paul before king Agrippa. "I think myself happy." I had to push past what i naturally wanted to feel. I had to tap into the Peace that passes all understanding. Because in Peace, Joy is found. The Kingdom of God is not meet and drink but Righteousness Peace ans Joy in the Holy Ghost!
So to everyone out there that may read this. If you are facing a tough time, do not blame God. It is not His fault. He is a loving good Father that has good in store for your life. God said through the prophet Jeremiah, "I know the thoughts that i think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." That's the heart of your Father, God. If you are facing situations that don't line up with that, then God did NOT cause that to happen. Talk to God run to him in the hard times. He will give you times of refreshing.
