What should a consecrated Christian do if he is unemployed?

Blessings to the Christian community of the blockchain. May the peace and love of Christ be with you all.
Today we will address the issue of unemployment and its effect on Christians. We can say that every time unemployment appears, it creates marital, financial and even medical problems. It also prematurely exposes the dangers that are generally associated with middle age: fatigue, neglect and confusion. These same terms describe many of today's unemployed.
What should a consecrated Christian do if he is unemployed? I believe that the Bible gives us several specific principles that have to do with the issue of unemployment.
First, accept your situation, however difficult it may be, and trust that God will work for good. The Bible promises that "those who love God, all things help them well, that is, those who according to their purpose are called" (Romans 8:28).
Second, carefully plan how to use the extra time in the best possible way. In Ephesians 5: 15-16 we read: "So be careful with your way of life. Be wise, not ignorant; take advantage of time."
If you are an unemployed Christian, I suggest you spend the first two hours of each day studying the Bible and praying. Then, spend the next three or four hours looking for work.
Third, minister to others during your free time. Organize a Bible study with others who may also be unemployed, and pray together. Spend time discipling new believers.
Individual or group, volunteer to work with your church, helping those in need, visiting the elderly or actively evangelizing their community.
The Word of God tells us: "Let us not get tired of doing good; for in his time we will reap, if we do not faint" (Galatians 6: 9).
Fourth, be a good administrator of your time, energy and possessions. With your family think about how you can creatively use what you already have to meet your needs and even help others.
Maybe it has a piece of land. Plant an orchard. You may have talents that could be used to earn some money. Use them, use them.
In Matthew 6:33 we read: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." If we honor God in all aspects of our lives, we can be sure that He will supply all our needs.
If unemployment knocks on your door, I challenge you to seek the kingdom of God and his justice. Act in accordance with the principles we have shared and trust that God will provide what you need.
If unemployment is not your specific problem, but know those who are struggling with this problem, share these biblical advice with them and encourage them to advance in the Lord.
