This Sunday at church our pastor preached on Matthew 26:14-16.
This is such a short passage, however I learned SO much from just these 2 verses. This passage is about how Judas was offered 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus. Our pastor shared with us another passage in Zechariah where a man was offered the same amount of money to betray as well. The consequences were not good. He said that as a Jewish man Judas would have known this and he did it any way. So Judas knowingly betrayed Jesus. He knew exactly what would happen. Any way, he said all of that to say this... How in our lives do we betray Jesus? We may not turn our backs on Him completely, but we definitely do not always trust in Him. This hit me so hard because for Josh and I there are so many things that are up in the air right now.
I recently quit my job as a stylist at a salon due to several reasons but mostly because the business was simply not being run well. I have been wondering what in the world I am going to do. I am going to have a baby in 6 months, we have drained our savings account buying things for the house, and oh yeah Josh's job runs out September 30th! That's 5 days before our baby is due! It's easy to not have faith and to " betray" the Lord. Then it hit me. The Lord has never failed us! He has always supplied us with jobs, food, clothing, and everything else we need and to be completely honest most everything we want. How can we be so blessed?!?!? He is awesome that's all I have to say! The Lord is already showing me that everything is going to be ok. I received a nanny job that is 2 days a week, I have been busier doing hair in my home than I ever was in the salon, and Josh has 2 leads on a permanent position with the Army Corps of Engineers. It is awesome to see how the Lord opens doors, just when you think they are all caving in. My hope and prayer is that my future child always sees our willingness to follow and obey the Lord, because in return He ALWAYS takes care of us!
