The "Difference"

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Rice Prprty Mgmnt & Rlty, LLC, South Holland, IL 481.010183

Being a believer in GOD makes a huge difference when it comes to Real Estate. With the market place experiencing times of unsteadiness, there is an assurance one can have in the midst of these worldwide changes. A Believer has GOD'S SECRET.

A believer has the LORD to turn to, lean upon, and hope in. And because HE never fails, one will not have to grope in the darkness, wondering what they will do. One's faith in HIM gives confidence that HIS Word is true regarding what HE has promised! One of a multitude of affirmations, asserts, HE will NEVER leave or forsake the believer in HIM.

                                               

During times of famine and drought in Biblical history, believers who looked to GOD were faithfully kept by HIM. When the plagues of Egypt began, around 1450 BC, GOD preserved HIS people from every one.  Before the rain storms of 40 days and nights began, GOD's plan was was already in place to deliver HIS people.  HIS "Arc" of safety is still in evidence, keeping the lives of the believer today.

In these times of uncertainty one does not have to despair.... there is a loving GOD awaiting with stretched out arms to receive whosoever will come in whatsoever state he's in. This is not the time to be left in the dark, not knowing what will happen in the industry, or in your own personal lives.  Are you able to discern from the unpredictable signals being shown?  No?  Then come unto HIM..... HE will surely give rest to those who seek HIM with their whole heart... you too can have the "Secret" of the Lord. Being a believer in GOD makes a difference.

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but HE revealeth HIS secret unto HIS servants the prophets. Amo 3:7

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear HIM; and HE will shew them HIS covenant. Ps 25:14

Very true Diane... I posted about this very issue.."Should-we-Worry-about the market?"

What gets us through this is the faith that we have.

Faith and Worry are opposites. The more faith we have the less we worry and vice versa!

Great post!

Right on.  God tells us not to worry and cast everything upon HIM.  He will take care of all things.  We need to be about people and not things.  When we care for others our problems do not seem like problems.  Pray for God to take things from you and to give you peace.  He will listen.  Oh and always have others praying for you as well.  Have a group that knows you and will look after you.  This is a great post.  Thanks for sharing.
