1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

out of the storm. It is in those times when we have to trust Jesus and know that He is the captain of the ship
and He has never lost a passenger yet. 2008 has been a hard year and to be honest the near future isn't
looking so good for those ,who place their trust in man. I say to you my friends, we need to keep our eyes
on Jesus. 2008 blessed me to walk away from my job with my full pension after 30 years and I trust God to
provide for me, as He has, all my almost 48 years. On my last day of work, it was met with great
excitement, but it brought tears to my eyes. This is something I never anticipated, but it was really tears of
joy. I began to reflect on how good God had been to me, a little 17 year old boy joining the work force of
GM. In the 30 years I was employed by GM, I saw many come and many go ,with different circumstances.
Some quit, some got fired and sadly some died and never reached their goal of retirement. In January
1982 I was laid off from GM for 20 straight months and things looked pretty much like they are looking in
2008. I stand as a living testimony that" God can change things". We can't look to Obama or McCain, we
must place our faith and trust in Jesus. During those 20 months God made a way for me and I was able to
make it through the storm. I lived on my own and I was determined not to return to my fathers house. It was
in those times I found great refuge in the "Fathers House". I was at church all the time praying and seeking
the face of God. Several of my friends were going through the same thing ,as I was, being laid off from GM
, but by month 20 most of them had returned to work. I can remember a sweet old mother Bessie Edwards
telling me she was praying for me to return to work. I was so distraught, because I needed some $$$$ to
pay my bills. I remembered Mother Edwards words and I cried out to God. I said "Lord if you can't hear me
praying, seems like you could hear somebody". Glory to God that afternnon two of my friends Cheryl
Blackburn and Kim Lewis came to visit me. I told them how I had just spoke my heart to God and told Him,
how I was feeling. Now get ready to shout, as soon as I told them what I had spoke to God ,the phone rang.
The caller asked for Melvin Robinson and I responded this is he. She said this is General Motors and we
are calling you back to wor k. You know I am getting real happy right now because, I can't forget all God
has done for me. I have many, many testimonies of victory and how God has blessed me and I hope this
was gives all who are going through, hope to know Jesus can and He will bring you out. Things are going to
get better TODAY!!!!!!!!!. Let's look at the story January 1982 until September 1983 I was without a job, but
God provided, take this testimony and let God know He is no respector of persons, if He provided for
Melvin, He has an obligation to provide for you. If this testimony has blessed you, feel free to share it with
someone who may be going through, so they may know God will bring them out let this bless you.
