A big event in our family this week has made me reflect about where my security lies. My husband lost his job in a layoff, an event I'm sure many of you are experiencing, as well.
The ripple effect of this particular layoff might be huge, after all, the months leading up to the loss of his job haven't been filled with big paychecks or deposits to our savings account. The difference this time (yes, we've experienced this before) is that it's drawn us together as a couple.
Here's why I think that's happening: we've been blessed to find a church in the past six months where the teaching is consistently focused on real-life application of Biblical truth. That kind of true-to-life preaching has challenged both of us to grow spiritually by leaps and bounds.
To me, that's another example of God's inimitable timing. He knew we'd be facing a tough time and He provided what we needed to get ready. That strong connection to His truth has given us the inner security to get through whatever comes next.
So, my family's security isn't shaken by the loss of our major income source. We're still made in God's image, He still loves us and we're going to be okay. Hope that's where your family's security lies...it's the only thing that makes sense in these unpredictable times.
