A Wake-Up Call?

As I walked to my car, I really wondered what I would do now.

Ten months ago things had seemed so perfect. We had been offered a job back in Southern California close to family, found a beautiful new home in a great location, and I had started working with a fast-growing ministry that I loved.

Now I was on my way home to tell my wife I had been fired.

I felt like I had taken a blow that knocked the wind out of me. I also felt like a complete and utter failure with no possible way out of the mess I had created.

I’ve thought a lot about that time in my life as I have watched many families lose so much in recent years. Millions are feeling the pain as many continue to be unemployed, others just now losing their jobs, families struggling with strained budgets due to increasing costs or the loss of their dream home – or both.

I have known their pain.

God used my personal financial disaster and those years in the wilderness to begin a process of reframing my thinking about money and success. He met me at the lowest possible point in my life when I was most vulnerable (and extremely teachable) and gently led me on an amazing journey to a destination that I thought I would never find. He led me to a place of real financial freedom and genuine security.

In the coming days, I want to take you on the same journey to discover exactly what I did: that the security God offers you as His child is not dependent on the size of your bank account, the strength of your financial portfolio, or the amount of your paycheck. It is a true financial freedom, a genuine security that can never be taken away.
