Yesterday I told God I was going to glorify him. And I am. Today I went for a job interview and I didn't get the job. However, as I was laying down today, I felt peace inside me. I am well aware of what the job could've meant for me and the benefits that it could've brought. But I serve a God who is handling my affairs in the best way he does because I know that I am his. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." - Romans 8:28. I told God that in joy or disappointment I would honor him and glorify him. I know that he is working and is restoring divine order in my life. It's easy to disregard God when the good that he is doing isn't seen clearly in life. Of course, we would all praise and even jump with joy when a God comes through when we ask him for a job or a cure we have been asking for when cancer has come. Of course, we will worship a Jesus that gives us the good life. But that's not the Jesus I serve. He did not come to give us material possessions or even the good life. This is why I am so opposed to the prosperity Gospel. If I had believed in a Jesus who gives me the good life, health, and wealth and prosperity then I would be disappointed right now. The Lord has supplied everything I need to glorify him and enjoy him. I don't need anything else than what I already have to be sufficient in carrying out his plan for my life. It's times like this that our true Christian character is tested. Yah, I must admit that not getting the job sucked and that I probably would've been happy. I am not doubting or trying to suppress my feelings but look at my situation in truth. In times like this, I will have faith. Abraham and Moses were great men of faith, yet God took them through the hard times of life so that in that hard time their character would grow into faith. Like I said, of course, we will have faith in a Jesus when life is good, but what about when life doesn't go as planned? We must remain faithful in God and know that he is working no matter what the situation might say. And with this, I have peace inside like never before because I know I have been obedient to him and it's only going to continue. He is good and he is working good in the affairs of his children. And I have faith that he has made me strong. Because this is where the boys are separated from the real men. This is where those who say they are spiritual yet are far away from God are separated. This is where the sheep is separated from the goats. I am glad that I have God as my everlasting treasure in this life and he is all I need regardless of the pain and possessions. To Jesus, I look and to him, I will keep on smiling. Have a good day everyone.
