The Upper Room Daily Devotional 25 September 2022 MESSAGE
In September 2017 my job contract came to an abrupt end. I was devastated and felt hopeless. How would I find new employment when companies were wrapping up business for the year? How would my family survive? Who would come to our rescue? I had no backup plan, and I thought it would be impossible to find a job in the last quarter of the year.
While I was pondering my next move, I believe God gave me the thought to visit my wife’s sister. After staying with her for a couple of days, I felt another prompt to visit a local school I had seen. With my CV in hand, I went to see the principal.
READ: Daily Prayer for Today 25th September 2022 | Sunday
I got the surprise of my life when the principal told me that a business teacher was about to go on maternity leave, so they needed a temporary teacher. I was tremendously relieved! Was it just by chance that I traveled to visit my sister-in-law and went to this school? I think not. When I could not see a way forward, God never left my side. God had made arrangements well in advance for me.
TODAY’S PRAYER
God of all wisdom, teach us not to fret when our plans fall apart. Remind us always to depend on your wisdom. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Today I will give thanks for God’s providence.
