Taken from Joel Osteen "its your time" book:
Brian told me about his own experience with an annointing of ease. He is an honest, hardworking man who believes that business are built on trusting relationships. So he was very discouraged when he learned that his bosses were cheating one of their best customers.
After mulling it over, Brian decided that he could no longer work for a dishonest company. He didn't have a college degree. He didn't have another job lined up. He and his wife had just become parents for the first time. Still, he couldn't cheat people who trusted him.
Before he turned in his resignation, Brian told the customer that he was being overbilled. The customer was upset but thanked Him for his honesty and wished him well.
It was a challenging time for Brian. He'd work hard to learn the business and to build up his list of clients. He worried about his family's future. Then, a few weeks after he'd quit his job, Brian received a phone call from the client who'd been cheated.
"I'd like to help you start your own company," the client said. "I'll finance your start up, and I will be your first customer."
Brian stepped into an annointing of ease. What he couldn't make happen on his own, God made happen for him. He made a tough decision to do the right thing. He weathered hard times. He endured sleepless nights. Then, God stepped in and turned off the pressure.
Maybe like Brian, you have struggled in some aspect of your life. Let me assure you that if you stay in faith, you will come into your own annointing of ease. God has promised He will go before you and smooth your path. He will make your life easier.
In hard times, know that God is still on the throne. Know He is working things out for your good.
Amen.
