God will provide.

I recently retired from a career in IT. That career served me well and I made a decent living for over 30 years.

I am fortunate that I could retire from this field. I thank God for giving me the courage to make this move. My new career as caregiver has been a desire in my heart for many years. I want to give back to the elderly. It is so rewarding to give to these wonderful people in need.

I always knew that God would provide for me in making this move. And He has come through one-hundred percent.

Philippians 4:19 - “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

There are at least 169 verses in the Bible that refer to the ways God provides for us. God differentiates between our needs and our wants. He does this to see where our heart is. He wants us to focus on our eternal life while we’re still living this one.

Some of us think of God as a genie in a bottle, making wishes on demand. But that’s not what God wants for us. He wants to give us peace in this busy, destructive world. He wants to give us power, love and self-discipline.

Don’t take for granted all that God provides: the sun, rain, etc. God is a caring father; He will not leave us and is always near.

When others look at me and wonder how I could make such a bold move in my career, I just smile and say, “God has never left me and He loves to give me the desires of my heart.

I stepped out in faith, and asked God to provide and He did just that. I’ll let Him take care of the details!
