Happiness and joy and light?
So, happiness and joy and light! I finally has a job! Took long enough, but hey! God has his own timing, right? Even though, I will admit, a lot of times I think it sucks. But he’s God and he knows best. But I praise God for looking out for me because I’m his child…when unsaved people find jobs, too… How does that work? I dunno, but for one day, at least, I’m not going to be a doubting Thomas. So we’ll see what happens. I have a job, and it pays junky, but hopefully it’ll get better after the 90 days.
So…God came through for me. Ya know, a lot of times we’re just like, hey, what the mess, why isn’t God providing for me? That’s his job, right? And we get angry and bitter that God isn’t doing what he should…I know, because I’ve been that way. But what about now? God has provided. He has, once again, proven himself faithful. So what is my response? I’m not gonna lie: my first response was, I’ve got a job, but I’ll hold off on thanking God until I know how good the job is…when I should be thankful to have a job at all! But isn’t that just like us as humans? I’m going to grumble about how much life stinks, but when it gets a little better…I’m going to grumble about that too. I have a job now…sure it’s minimum wage, but last time I checked, minimum wage is still a whole lot better than, well, nothing. You can check my math on that one, but I’m pretty sure I’m right…
So what is my response going to be? Am I going to thank God, or grumble? Realize how much he is working in my life, or complain that he’s not working enough? The answer should be obvious, and it is…but will the action follow?
