To begin with, let’s put on our thinking caps. Think of how a live play is produced. We have the cast, the stage, and you as one of the audiences. Maybe it’s a play you have been looking forward to being part of, for the whole year and finally, you got the opportunity to attend. A friend comes and gives you the tickets to it.
The day finally comes to go, you go with your friend and see the play. The play starts off well, you have high expectations and possibly how it should end. You sit there at your sit and start narrating the entire play in your mind from start to finish. In the middle of the play you notice, the storyline is starting to take a different direction from the one you had written in your mind. You sit at the edge of your sit in anticipation, then abruptly the play comes to an expected end. Looking confused you ask your friend what is happening, he turns to you and tells you that, that was just the first part of the play, that there is another part coming up next week and there and then hands you the tickets to it. In disbelive, you cannot fathom what has just happened…
Well, your friend had an inside story about the story of the play.
When we talk about God having a sense of humor, it does not mean that He sits in Heaven laughing at us. We mean, God knows the exact place and season we are in life. He knows the ups alongside the downs and has a way prepared for us that does not seem visible at that moment.
For the last two months, I have been in a tight corner of financial need. My daily work is in design (graphic design, UI & UX design) so for those two months (August and September 2022) it has been hard to get projects, I have had more promising inquiries but they have not actualized. I remember praying and asking God to show up, other times I was frustrated with God because I felt like God had abandoned me to handle the challenges I was going through. All through this, I had a piece and confidence that things will work out for God kept encouraging me that He has got this ( whatever I was worried about) for I felt the care of God in these two months even if I could not see a way. I think at times we have an imagination or desire of how God will work or come through in a situation. Forgetting that He is God, and has many ways of doing one thing. A good example of this would be how Jesus healed some of the blind people( different healing but same issue)
As we conclude, my good report is that things have started to open up for me in my work,
the word God gave me during this period I have been in need was:
Romans 8:28 (New Living Translation)
And we know that God causes everything to work together[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
God is the one who causes everything to work together no matter how bad it gets or looks like, that is an assurance you can Trust and hold on to.
God is Faithful!!!
Hebrews 13:5b (New Living Translation)
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.”
