hello.


what does the Bible say about getting a job, having a career, etc...?


this is the 21 century...does God know what our society is like today?


I have been waiting for God to say something...Isn't that Pleasing to Him? I ask HIM...but He never answers.

In I Timothy 5:8 is one of the strongest statements in the Bible: "If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever," (RSV). Or, as the King James has it, he is "worse than an infidel."

Work can sometimes drag us down. But that's not its original, God-given intention. God designed work to help you feel good about yourself—so that you could share your unique talents with others, and form a balanced community, as well as enjoy the fruits of labor well-done.

These sites I gave here, use, look them up. They have so much good in them.

there is suffering in work...........you will earn a living with the sweat of your brow (or face).

suffering produces character and maturity.

God is TESTING our faith....................How?...........the Bible tells us to do certain things, and if we fail to live (and work) the Bible way,....we fail God's TEST of our faith.




don't wait for some big personal revelation from God, or a Sign..............read the Bible, and do what it says, simply because you have chosen to believe the Bible.

Abraham believed God, and Abe was COUNTED as righteous, because he believed God.

When God sees that you are faithful in little things, He will trust you with bigger things.
If you are a good Steward of what you know now (shallow things), God will reveal deeper things to you.

We must GROW in the Lord.
We must crawl before we can walk.

Hello Sand, that voice you hear telling you "you have failed in everything you ever done" is a lie.

don't believe it.

Believe instead in Christ who wants you to succeed. He really does! Trust in Jesus. No matter how hard things may be or how doubtful the situation is, run to Jesus and tell him you cannot do it without him!

With God all things are possible, even your success. Oh and that voice you're wanting hear from God? It's in your heart. Remember, the kingdom of heaven is within!

yeah but what verses talk about actually getting a job? find out what your "talents" are?





and how come i've read other's testimonies and saw that God told them what He wanted them to do.





i read a testimony of an atheist who came to know god and Jesus told him He wanted him to be a chef.




THAT is faith.




when god says it will happen and, you KNOW it won't fail. but when he doesn't say anything....what can you do?

Get any job now and wait for him to answer! See G-d isn't into playing games. He isn't going to beat it over the heads of some, and having G-d tell you what Job to do isn't what faith is really all about.


The NIV translation says, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1 NIV).

The NKJV of the Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1).

This site will have teachings on what faith is really about.

Sand, get up and take a long stare in the mirror, and ask the face you see in your reflection "who are you? What do you want?" then say to yourself "who am I, what do I want?"

God knows who you are, but do you know yourself?

If you don't know then welcome to the first step to life's journey, because it's all about finding out who YOU are to YOURSELF.

You want to know yourself? Look inside your heart, that's where God speaks. He speak in mine, and I don't hear him too well, if I use my head or my ears.
