Hold tight, help is on the way

Recently, I personally have been going through ALOT in my professional life. For the first time in my life I really was not sure how I was going to make it much longer without quitting / losing my job. This was not a bad day, but bad weeks leading to bad months. Throughout this time God has just shown up OVER and OVER and OVER. When I thought I could not go on He simply carried me OVER and OVER and OVER through that day and that week. God really stood up, stepped up and showed up so many times and showed me that He was in charge and that He loved me and would never forsake me.

In the midst of all of this my wife and I were given tickets to a local show featuring the Christian group Mercy Me. I knew their songs, but they were by no means a group I listened to so much that I knew all the words to their songs, etc. That night though God moved through them and their song – Hold Fast. I needed to hear that God was calling me to hold fast, as His help is / was on the way. That song stuck with me and over and over since then it has carried me through tough times at work. Today, in the midst of some minor surgery my wife was going (nothing serious but something I had to take the day off to be with her for) through I got a call from a friend that showed me once again that God is calling me to -

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He’s come to save the day

I am not sure what God has planned in the future (and I am fine with that), but am so sure right now that I know He is in charge. He is working to bless and He is constantly working to use me and my life for His glory. Don’t worry, currently my job is secure, but after today I also know that God is working for a brighter future for me be it here or somewhere else. He has not, will and does not leave nor forsake His children. Sometimes He uses other people to show us that though.

Tonight, I simply want to tell everyone who is going through some tough times that God is there with you, that God has not forsaken you, that God is in charge, and that God is calling you to hold fast as HE (HELP) is on the way.
