Following Freedom

DO NOT WORRY!! How do we obey this? There are three admonitions.

1. LET US FOCUS ON WHO OUR FATHER IS (v. 25-30)
a. He provides our Food (v. 26)
b. He presides over our Future (v. 27)
c. He procures our Fashion (v. 28-30)

2. LET US FOCUS ON WHERE OUR FAITH IS (v. 31-33)
a. Not in The World’s Things (v. 32)
b. But in The Father’s Kingdom (v. 33)

3. LET US FOCUS ON WHO HOLDS OUR FUTURE (v. 34)

Conclusion:
We are loved and cared for by a powerful heavenly Father who promises to provide for us and to protect us. We have been given the faith that we need to trust in Him – to seek His rule over our lives and over His creation; and to hunger after His righteousness in our hearts and express it our lives. Let us always therefore, fix our eyes on Him who is the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Career changes are generally easier to make when you are younger because there are lesser responsibilities to others to consider and the amount of time invested in one company may not yet be substantial. People in their 40s and above contemplating the so-called midlife career changes have more things to consider before taking that faithful leap. This fact however, should not discourage people from pursuing such change if they feel that it can contribute to the quality of their lives.

An honest personal assessment of one’s skills and capabilities should be taken by those considering possible career changes. Age discrimination is a reality in the work environment. Most jobs available to middle-age employees are in the management level. Although presenting a possible promotion, such jobs require skills and training/education. Investing in further education while employed is a sure way of enhancing personal and career qualifications that are attractive to searching employers.

Many people contemplating midlife career changes do so because of boredom with their existing careers. They fail to see any more challenges to conquer and see their jobs as mere sources of income. Middle-aged employees typically look for some personal satisfaction and enjoyment in their jobs to give them reason to push themselves to greater heights. A person’s financial state can also prevent him/her of pursuing change even when seriously desired. If salary discontent is one of the reasons for opting for career change, the more it is necessary to make oneself “marketable” to employers in terms of experience and skills.
