After Friday, Rick and I had a serious talk about our jobs and possibility of making positive changes. As we talked, he told me he had some confessing to do.
It seems that I wasn`t the only one that had trouble on the job front. He amitted that the day he took off last week was actually a reprimand and punishment for a safety violation that he committed. He said that he didn`t tell me because I was on such a God high; he didn`t want to spoil that for me.
I appreciated the concern, but felt that he struggled the embarrassment and shame of this careless mistake alone.
It seems that we were both examining our self worth because of our jobs! Is that the way God wants us to feel? I know who I am in Jesus Christ, but found myself allowing satan to control my insecure thoughts. How quickly satan stands ready to jump on our backs and cause continued pain and discomfort.
There was a time in my life when satan would have demanded and received my ear for an extended period of time. No more, evil guy; Jesus quickly came to my rescue!
I know that I am a precious child of God and that I can stand firm and confident on that belief. Out of my head evil one;Jesus defeated you a long time ago!
Rick and I prayed in the kitchen, for God`s love and directions for our future.
Matthew 4:10-11 Jesus said to him, "Away with you, satan! for it is written, "Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him." Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.
