Stand Firm In Troubled Times

Life is never easy as hard knocks hit hard inevitably as knocks are in your walk learning to deal with them is the key don't get knocked out be as a rock My mind goes way back to 1984 having been working for 11 years at a confection firm which really enjoyed but redundancy came down with some fears There I was facing unemployed with no job but felt peace within God was real down deep-felt conviction to stand firm the Lord's presence really I did feel As time proved God was faithful before job closed I received good news new job to start on the next week be faithful to Jesus so you can't lose ( I have written this looking back on being made redundant for the first time in 1984 and how I was able to stand firm during these difficult says trusting in the grace of God)
