All
who accept the true Sabbath will be faced with challenges that call for more
than human wisdom. Situations will
present themselves for which one has no previous experience for knowing what to
do. Decisions must be made that can have
far reaching consequences if the wrong choice is made. In this, as in all other areas, the heavenly
Father will supply what is needed. It
may appear as though keeping the true Sabbath will lead to disaster.

Yahuwah
is the source of all wisdom and knowledge.
He is willing to lead in safe paths all who come to Him for
guidance. In His word, He has promised:

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of . . . [Yah], that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5, KJV)

Facing loss of employment can seem frightening and overwhelming. Yahuwah knows your needs and will lead you in paths safe to follow.

If
you are facing the loss of employment due to accepting the lunar Sabbath, you
will need divine wisdom. Yahuwah is
faithful and trustworthy. If you ask Him
for guidance, He will never fail you nor forsake you.

And . . . [Yahuwah]
shall guide you continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy
bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not. (Isaiah 58:11,
KJV)

As
your all-wise Creator, Yahuwah knows what is best for you. As your loving heavenly Father, He wants you
to be happy. He will never lead you in a
way other than you would choose for yourself, if you could see the future as He
can, and discern the glorious plan of which you are a part.

I will instruct thee
and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine
eye. (Psalm 32:8, KJV)

The Four Steps of
Faith

When you come to a crisis and you do not know what to do,
there are four steps you can take to find the answer:

1. Gather together all the information available.
2. Make a decision based on that information and present it
   to Yahuwah in prayer.
3. Walk forward in faith, based upon your decision.
4. Watch for the opening and closing doors of Providence.

The first step to take when making a decision is to gather all the information possible. It is a mistake too many make to sit and do
nothing, waiting for some answer to present itself. While it is certainly within the realm of
possibility for Yahuwah to do that, such action is typically not how He works. You must cooperate with Him by finding out
all the information possible and then gather even more.

Look for jobs in the newspaper, on line, bulletin boards, employment offices and ask your friends and neighbors if they have heard of any openings.

If you have looked for a solution to keep your present
job, then look for other jobs in the newspaper, online and by asking
around. Don’t expect your phone to ring
with a superior position, better time and more pay, offered to you out of the
blue. You may have to take what you think
of as an inferior job, so find out about those positions as well.

When you have prayed and asked for divine wisdom, you
must begin to analyze the information you have gathered. This does not commit you to a particular
course of action, but by gathering together all the facts, new options will be
discerned. You will have the knowledge
to see your situation better and be prepared to take the next step.

After you have gathered all the information possible, make a decision based on that information
and take it to Yahuwah in prayer. Do
not be afraid to make a decision. If you
make an honest mistake, Yahuwah has the power to save you and redirect you.

Appoint a special time for prayer each day. Pray frequently and pray very specifically. Claim the
promises! If you do not know a specific
promise that fits your situation, hunt for one.
The resources of Heaven have been pledged to all who will honor their
Maker by following Him in obedience.
Your Father knows just what you need, so ask for what you need.

Scripture admonishes all to “seek ye first the kingdom of
. . . [Yahuwah], and his righteousness.”
The promise for all who do this is: “and all these things shall be added
unto you.” (Matthew 6:33) By accepting the Sabbath as your sign of
loyalty to the Creator, you can claim this promise.

Ask for what you need very specifically and submit it all
to His will. You may not get what you
desire, but you will get what the Father knows is best for you.

Once you have 1) gathered all the information you can; 2)
made a decision; and, 3) presented it to the Father in prayer, then walk forward in faith based upon that
decision. Yahuwah has promised to
lead. “Lead” is an action verb! One cannot be led, if one is sitting down,
lounging in a chair. To be led, one must
take a step forward, as the way is cleared.

There are many paying jobs that are overlooked by job hunters. When you see an unusual job being done, ask for whom he works.

Do not let fear or lack of trust immobilize you. Too many people sit, waiting for Yahuwah to
pick them up and carry them forward.
Yahuwah will never force a person’s will. If they choose to sit rather than walk
forward, He will not compel them to move.

As you walk forward in faith and prayer, watch for the opening and closing doors of
Providence. No one enjoys the
experience of starting to walk through a door, only to have it slammed shut in
one’s face. However, sometimes an
abruptly slammed door is what is needed to save you from making a mistake. Closed doors are every bit as much an answer
to prayer as open doors.

Give thanks for every opening and closing door. Do not complain if an opening you expected to
follow suddenly slams shut. Simply look
for an open window and keep walking. The
opening and closing doors of Providence are heaven’s most direct way to guide
you.

The promise of divine wisdom is given with the added
admonition to ask in faith, nothing
doubting.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of . . . [Yah], that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the
wind and tossed. For let not
that man think that he shall receive any thing of . . . [Yahuwah]. A double minded man is unstable in all his
ways. (James 1:5-8,
KJV)

Faith is not emotion.
In fact, no faith is exercised (because none is needed) if you feel all
the wonderful feelings it is a privilege to feel. Good emotions are Yahuwah’s gift to give;
faith is ours to exercise when no such good emotions are present. It takes faith to believe your prayer is
heard when you do not feel like
it. Faith has absolutely nothing to do
with feelings and emotions.

This is an important point for all who would journey the
solitary way of the Called Out Ones.
Satan can manipulate your emotions very easily. Those who confuse faith with feeling are as
wavering as the ocean waves, moved about by every outside influence.

Faith
is a divine gift. If you are afraid, ask
for more faith. It is a prayer the
Father delights to answer.

Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto
you. For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened.

If a son shall ask
bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a
fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

If he then, being
evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your
heavenly Father give the Holy spirit to them that ask him? (Luke 11:9-13, KJV)

Every encouragement has been given to you, to inspire you with the faith
to ask your Father for what you need.
Your spirit will be braced for endurance and as you walk forward humbly
and in faith to do His will, Yahuwah will open up a pathway that is safe to
follow. Your life will be a testimony to
the power of Yahuwah to deliver.
