Trusting in God's Plan

I have not posted a lot about my personal life, faith and testimony in quite some time. I did want to share this. After a little over 7 years of employment my position with Deep South Crane and Rigging came to an end on Monday 7-22-24. I am thankful and blessed to have worked for such a great company. I wish Deep South nothing but the best in its future endeavors. I am not worried about finding another job or opportunity because God provided the last job when I was not even looking. I know my job, career and profession doesn’t define my identity in Christ. I also know that sanctification is a life-long process. So, I am trying to remain moldable through this process. Lol!

My favorite book of the Bible is the book of JOB. If you know me personally you know how my faith carried me through some fiery trials. Lots of loss, pain, grief and suffering. I definitely had a season of some JOB like trials. I also know that it could have been much, much worse. Thankfully I had God’s word and promises to lean on and I have been living on the restoration side of my JOB like story for quite some time. My regular prayer for a long time was for God to keep me Humble, Grateful, Thankful and Content Regardless of my outward circumstances. I still have to remind myself of that prayer.

On a more positive note. The job search has really gone better than I could have ever thought or imagined. I am already interviewing and talking with some really great companies. I am extremely excited about finding the next opportunity that will challenge me in my faith and multiple facets of life. Do to current circumstances I have recently had a lot more time to spend time with God as of late. I read a book about prayer years ago and it said work like it’s on you but to pray like it’s on God. So I have definitely spent a lot of time reaching out to people in my network as God puts people on my mind. I also wanted to share a great devotional I read this weekend- See Attached. It made me reflect on some things for the next opportunity. It talks about Caleb and his faith after spending 40 years in the Wilderness. He didn’t ask for something easy to do he asked for a new challenge where he would need Gods help. Like Caleb I am asking God for new challenges and mountains to climb. My prayer this morning- Lord help me to not trust in my own strength but to rely upon you to work in me and through me to accomplish your kingdom plans and purposes.

I am not sure what season of life you may be in or what mountains you’re currently facing. I have confidence in how God works and I know that he is faithful to carry us through the wilderness and any of the Red Sea Moments of life. Just remember to cling to the promises of God’s word. The word is living active and never changes. The word is also how Jesus overcame Satan in the wilderness.

I will close with these 3 verses. this. My capstone verse is the words of Jesus in John 16:33- I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.?In this world you will have trouble.?But take heart! I have overcome?the world.” As a believer I know that I can have peace in this world as long as I keep my mind focused on God’s word and his promises.

One of the verses that helped me to overcome severe trials and adversity is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18- Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;?for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Whenever I questioned Gods plan in my life he gave me this verse to lean on: Proverbs 3:5-6- Trust in the?Lord?with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,?and he will make your paths?straight. Regardless of whether my life is good or bad; up or down; I know that God can make the crooked path straight. ?

No matter what you are going through I hope this serves as a simple reminder to cling to the promises of God’s word. If you know of someone that might be able to utilize my skills and experience let me know. Clay Eubanks- 409-457-5901
