I have been made redundant three times since 1990, and in 2004 I left teaching altogether after 19 years. I didn't know what to do, and I quoted that Scripture out of Isaiah (I think) when the city was under siege from the Assyrians. Isaiah and Hezekiah went into the temple and prayed saying, "We don't know what to do, but our eyes are upon you." God wrought a great miracle as a result for Isaiah and Hezekiah.
What happened was that there was an opening to do temping through an agency and I did a couple of temporary projects, then was invited, on one temping project to apply for a permanent job (that was at the local District Court). I got that job as a fixed term contract, but after two weeks a staff member left and I went to the manager and asked that my job be made permanent. That was approved and I worked there for 18 months and had a lot of fun being a Family Court Registrar, working with the Judges. A whole new experience for me. Then because my budget was tight, because I went down around $12,000 a year when I left teaching, I applied to be a Victim Advisor which had a slightly higher salary, and when I got that job, they had a review of salaries and my salary went up $12,000! Another thing, my wife had loaned her sister $50,000 a number of years before to help buy a home for her and her children, and just as I started with the Family Court, her sister relocated to Australia and paid back the $50,000, which was just what we needed at the time, and it was when it ran out that my salary with the new job went up $12,000! The miracle was in God's timing. I had around 10 years as a Victim Advisor, and it was exactly the right job for me as a Christian, because I was able to help people suffering from domestic violence, and a few times, I had great fellowship with Christian victims who came to the office.
When I retired, (I was chairperson of a budgeting agency since 1999), I decided to volunteer as the manager's support person at the agency, and after around six months, she decided to pay me for my time. That has supplemented my superannuation (retirement pension) so that there has been no difference in my wife's and my lifestyle.
So, this is my testimony of the outcome of having my eye on the Lord when finding myself without a job. It is a great adventure (looking back on it) not knowing how the Lord is going to provide for our needs, but as I used the resources available to me, He was able guide me. He doesn't guide people who just sit on the couch, waiting for something to happen. He steers us as we get out there and explore the possibilities.
Oh, one interesting episode - one temping job I had was in a warehouse, and they treated me like I was just a second-class person. I hated it, and complained to the Lord. He said, "You've got to walk the humble road, brother." After three weeks of that, earning a rock bottom wage, I asked the agency for another position, and I got one at a Gentleman's club doing computer projects. I finished the project in under two weeks, and he ran out of work to give me. He was surprised at how fast I was on the computer! Then I got the temping job at the Court and the rest is, as we say, history.
So be encouraged. God is no respecter of persons. If he can do it for me, He can do it for you!
