In reading 1Peter3:13-16 today I came across the part "...do not fear what they fear..." and my mind flashed across my current status in life. In this quick reflection I, one, gave thanks to God and two, gave thanks again. :) I thought about "what if I lost my job because of my beliefs" and I think how God has set me up where I do not have to fear this. I don't want to lose my job by any means as it is very much a blessing and allows me to do many things that I feel are important to me and want to do right now, however, if it came down to it I don't believe I would be in fear of losing it. Why? Good question. I feel God has led me into a humble life that has not put me into any type of debt other then my house mortgage and my house mortgage is proprtionate to my income so I am not living above my head. He also has led me through FPU (Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey) that has taught me techniques to be a good steward of my money. With all this I give him all the praise because through him I experience freedom.
In the grand scheme of life is it the savings or humble situation I am in that allows me to experience freedom? No, it is faith in my Lord and Savior - for it is the truth that sets us free. This is a lesson that I continually am learning.
