Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
My husband had a government job working for the school district while living in the States. While he did not care for the job much, the best part about having this type of employment was the health benefits. We always had people telling us how excellent our benefits were.
I remember at one point applying for a government job. People would line up hours in advance to take a placement test, just to get their foot in the door so to speak.
As I read this verse, it dawned on me that we have government jobs once we become saved. We have a job with the Government of God.
The verse says that God will increase His government, and there will be no end. In other words, people are being added to His government daily, being saved!
With Jesus, we have the best health benefits available, and more. We have eternal life, freedom from curses, sickness and disease, joy and peace that surpasses all understanding.
We don´t have to line up early to be granted a position, because once we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are in.
If you have ever felt that there is just too much evil in the world, rejoice, because there are people added daily to His government.
Blessings in Him
Yvette,
I love this idea of having a government job for Jesus! I may have to “borrow” this idea sometime when I’m called upon to preach, if you don’t mind.
Love in Christ,
