Do You Feel Like The Fox?

I think we as Christians feel like this Fox in today's world. Caught amongst the Predator known as the world. I felt like this Fox for the last 8 months of my life. I felt that the Big Dog was pressing down on me when it came to not finding a job for 6 months.

But through strong faith and prayer I never worried about the Big Dog, he never caught up with me. I felt I had good patience in God. There were many times I got down, but I got back up and went at it again. It was hard to find a good paying job in a small town, so I did what I do best I planned and pray hard.

It was God who pulled me through tough times, but I still felt my problems were small compared to others. So I prayed for those that were in the same situation I was in, but I asked God to take care of them before He took care of mine.

We just can't pray for ourselves and forget that others are in the same boat. There are many people going through not just tough times , but Disastrous times. Things I don't even want to think about. I read a lot of news on the Internet and I hurt when I read of things going on with people in places such as Africa. The stories I have read about innocent women and children in Africa and what they have been through. It's sad! I think about how many people are suffering with terminal sickness and what they are going through at this very moment. I feel for those children who have been kidnapped and taken from the safety of their homes and families. I think about the many parents who are working 2 or three jobs just to feed their children and then have to stress about ending up on the streets because they can't pay the rent. I know I sound dreary but we all need to open our eyes and see the world through other peoples eyes. Those I have mentioned are definitely the fox in this picture.

Do you feel like the fox? Are things bearing down on you? My only answer is be very patient with God. Pray not only for your situation ,but pray more for others.

After 7 months I landed a pretty good job so far, AFLAC is starting to come through but I also have been landscaping on the side, which I love to do. But I don't believe God just hands us stuff, he provided me with the direction of what to do and the faith to back it up and the knowledge of prayer for others. I was the "Fox" in the picture but the Dogs never knew I was right there in front of them because I had help from a higher power.

Thank you God for our Faith in you and your great mercy.
