What if we realize that our current employment is not allowing us to walk by faith? Consider the experience of Tresor, from Congo. He relates: "My new job was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I was earning triple what I previously, and I was well-respected." However, Tresor regularly missed meetings because of working overtime. He was also pressured to cover up dishonest activities. Tresor wanted to quit, but he worried about being unemployed. What helped him? He says: "Habakkuk 3:17-19 helped me to understand that even if I lost my income, Jehovah would somehow take care of me. So I resigned." So he concludes: "Many employees think that for a well-paid job, a person will sacrifice anything, including family life and spiritual activities. I am happy that I preserved my relationship with Jehovah and with my family. A year later, Jehovah helped me find a stable job that allows me to live modestly and have more time for Christian activities. When we put Jehovah first, we may for a time struggle financially, but Jehovah will take care of us." Yes, if we trust in Jehovah's advice and promises, we will continue walking by faith.
