When my businesses started folding one by one, my stress an anxiety level morphed into a time of striving. What I mean by that is I would look at any and every opportunity to make a buck. Everything was hard. Many times I was driving hundreds of miles away to do whatever it was for however long the job took.
When something unusual happens in our daily life experience, that's an indicator that it is a time to tune in our spiritual antennae. God is often at work.
"So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant" (Josh 24:13).
I'll be the first to tell you that a month ago, I didn't have a clue about the advertising business, yet here I am blessed with a book of business, I did not build.
The people of Israel conquered the Promised Land as a result of obedience, not sweat, toil, or natural talent. God desires to give us fruit from our calling when we fulfill the unique purpose for which He made us. We will not have to manipulate the outcome.
As I learn again, to abide completely in His presence and purpose for my life, I realize His nature is to do exceedingly, and abundantly beyond what I can think or imagine.
