Unemployment
<<jobless>>
The Bible says laziness and idleness are to be discouraged (Prov 13:4, 19:15; 2 Thes 3:6,10,11). Christians therefore have a role in assisting people to find employment and supporting those without means.
If you are out of a job recognise God is in control yet don’t waste the time, rather apply yourself to study and maybe attend courses, to improve or up-skill. Are you diligently looking for work, door knocking, networking and even considering a change of occupation or being willing to accept less money than previous employment? Ask yourself, ‘Is there some serious character defect or social skill that I need to address to make myself more employable’? Diligence gives you a huge advantage over those who are waiting for someone to come to them with a job.
In God’s Kingdom there are work opportunities for everyone
you could venture out on your own.
