Mad, angry, hurt, disappointed? Yeah I get it.
Sitting here in my alone time trying to handle events that have happened to me and I am mad and frustrated. I admit I’m hurt and disappointed. Yup, I am admitting it, I let something hurt me and keep me distracted for two weeks. The thing I love about God is he allows you time to feel all of your feelings then the Holy Spirit starts nudging you, pushing you and driving you to find God in your situation. So as I’m laying here about to take a nap, it’s freezing cold outside and my bath time was long and relaxing, I thought yeah, Nap time. Nope, Bible study .. so this scripture just kept playing in my head and I had to read Roman’s 8
”Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.“
Romans 8:27-29 NKJV
Does it fit my story, ABSOLUTELY! I am sitting here mad because things did not go the way I planned. I felt over looked and pushed aside because I lost focus. I forgot who I work for, I forgot whose work I am assigned to do. Looking for validation in worldly circumstances will always keep me frustrated because the way My God is set up, he provides for me, not anything or anyone else, he does. So when I need help, I have to look to the hills, not to man and I forgot that for a few minutes this time.
So, with all that being said, when I go to work tomorrow I will show up and be present. I will be relevant, approachable, active and effective. I will continue to be the best me I can be because looking back over the years, no man has ever stopped what God has for me. The Holy Spirit himself spoke for me today .. all things work together for my good, even when I don’t understand. All things include being overlooked at work, all things include everything that happens to me at home, at work and at play. All things include the people who stopped calling, all the invites I didn’t get, all the lies told on me and about me. All things also include all of the love I receive, all the people who embrace me and accept me, all the people who look out for me.
ALL THINGS! Yeah, I love that!
I’m ok knowing that nothing that happens to me catches God by surprise, he knows the plans he has for me. My number one job is to TRUST GOD, second thing to do is repeat step one.
Love somebody on purpose, but start with you!
”I look up to the hills, but where will my help really come from? My help will come from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. He will not let you fall. Your Protector will not fall asleep. Israel’s Protector does not get tired. He never sleeps.“
Psalms 121:1-4 ERV
