My Lord Knows the Way through the Wilderness

I have a dear friend and advisor who always quotes the title to this chorus. Currently he and his wife are going through some difficult times due to physical ailments, yet when asked how things are going, his typical response is "My Lord know the way through the wilderness, all I have to do is follow."

That is easy to say, but it is a lesson that is often learned through challenge. Even today as I was reading in I Samuel, David was anointed to be king, but yet he faced great difficulties. Saul tried to kill him; his brothers belittled him; he was anointed king without becoming much of anything except a target. Regardless of the trials I face, I can rest assured that my God will guide and protect me. He has been faithful in the past and I know that He will continue to be faithful in the future.

As I wait on Him to reveal the next step of ministry and service, I need to find gainful employment to provide for the family. I am thinking of working for free coffee, but I may need more than that, so perhaps I will need a different job. There are "many" jobs in the classifieds, both in the newspaper and online, but many are for jobs outside my areas of expertise. I have begun looking seriously and hope to have something in the works by the end of the coming week. I shall trust my God to meet that need as I follow Him. Bec and I would appreciate your prayers.
