The Fig Tree's Whisper

Today, we continue our journey through the wilderness of unemployment. Let’s talk honestly for a moment. Have you ever faced unemployment? Maybe you’ve lost a job, or maybe you’re searching and the doors just won’t open. It’s heavy, isn’t it? It feels like the ground has shifted beneath you.

Now listen to what Jesus says in Luke 21:29–33: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Luke 21:33, NIV). Think about that. Jobs, careers, financial systems—they all pass away. They’re temporary. But His Word? That’s eternal. That’s the anchor you can hold onto when everything else feels uncertain.
