Threat

Today my coworker was talking about a change in law to teachers. A teacher in a public university works for the government and it is a stable job. But it is wishful to turn it in an unstable job.

As I am not publishing papers in the scientific community, it is a threat to me.

It makes me remember of the old days when I was in the private sector with its ups and downs. 

What can I do?

It is interesting to have more than one source of income. Another thing is to see the past and consider how the Lord created me as in Psalm 139:

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
    you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
    Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
    I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
    you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
    how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
    all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
    before I’d even lived one day.

When I look the Lord, who miraculously created me, the threat really seems small. It is only a job! My Lord will stay by my side!
