Many people ask the question: "My employer has told me
he wi.ll have to fire me if I do not begin working on the Sabbath.
Jobs are very hard to find in
this
locality. Should I keep the
Sabbath regardless, and trust God .for another job?

The immediate question that always comes into mind is :
"How am I going to support my family?" To obey God takes real
courage and
fa~th
in God. We know we have His sure promise that
He will provide for our needs. God may allow you to be temporarily
jobles s to tes t your faith, but as long as you obey Him and follow
Christ -- and keep looking for a job -- you will find work. God
will not forsake you (Deut.--zr:3U-1IT. But there is one thing ._ o
remember, you must be a hard and trusted worker. God will not
intervene for one who i s

We must not look to the phys ca l
circumstances involved, but trust God in BELIEVING FAITH.

We are t old in Matthew
6:31-33, ".•.
take no thought
(anxious thought or worry), saying, What shall we eat? or ...
Wherewithal shall we be clothed . . . for your heavenly Father
knoweth t hat ye have need of all these things. But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and-arT tnese

The person who accepts God
at His Word, and is wiiiing to STEP OUT on faith, exercising
it~
and trusting Him to supply every need, is a person upon whom God
will look with favor and to whom God will see that work is
supplied .
Pray for God
