What now?

Camp Meeting is done.  Daily Home Activities continue. June 2 to October 29, almost five months since devotional in Joshua 6 and 7 led me to "leave the accursed thing."  He is faithful yet I understand, "a man that won't work, shouldn't eat." (II Thes 3.10) I do not mind working for my share and my keep.  However, no Sunday's, day shift, part-time, at home, criteria seem to leave all out but office work. I am well beyond youthful exuberance for a new job but still very able and capable.  

The holidays are fast approaching.  Gas and food are still needed. Holiday meals stretch the grocery dollar.  Funds holding out for basic bills.  My money is going out and not being replaced.  What do I do?  Must stay close to elderly parent.

Others have suggested babysitting.  That's a definite no go due to the need to leave when necessary.

Maybe my faith is weak.  I heard a definite whisper to leave job in June but thought other opportunity would materialize before now.

The prophet Elijah "stayed by the brook" til things "dried up." (I Kings 17).  I firmly believe one should pay their bills.  Thus, I do not want to allow any one bill to be overdue.  I also do not wish to take of another's reserves. 

The prophet Nehemiah "sat down and wept, mourned, fasted and prayed" because of the "broken walls." (Neh 1.4).  Not sure about fasting due to medical condition but the other actions are a definite part of daily prayer and supplication.

The question remains, "What do I do now?"  

One other word that has been whispered since June is "Occupy til I come." (Luke 19.13)  These words from the Savior about "a certain nobleman" and what he instructed of his servants.  One of three made the most of what had been given and instructed.  So I shall do the same.

What now?  "Occupy," faithfully, til He comes or gives further instruction.
