“With favor You will surround him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12 NKJV

To have job security you should: (1) Increase your visibility in your industry. Establish contacts and relationships with others outside your company by attending local industry gatherings wherever possible. Your goal should not merely be to know enough to get by but to develop your skills so that you will get noticed and get ahead. When the time is right and you’re ready, God will open doors for you. “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield” (v. 12 NKJV). (2) Maintain a divine perspective on your job. Remind yourself that it is not the source of your security but simply one of many channels God can use to provide for you. Read the story of Elijah the prophet and how God miraculously provided for him through a raven, a brook, and a single mom with just enough food for one meal. God used four different streams to water the garden of Eden. So when you have an unmet need or a financial shortfall, ask Him to reveal different streams of income to you. And stand on these two promises: “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). “God has not given us a spirit of fear [of losing your job], but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV). Fear and faith are powerful forces that seek to rule your life. One will take you in the wrong direction, the other will take you in the right direction. So strengthen your faith by reading God’s Word, praying, and entrusting the outcomes of your life to Him.
