Grateful in hard times.

Just a brief summary of my day today, I came from a job fair looking for an RPN job opportunity around the country and outside Canada. I am willing to relocate but most of the positions are available for RNs. It is really frustrating because finding a job here in Ontario is very difficult because it is already very competitive. I couldn't compete because I am only a new graduate, but with God's grace I was offered two job opportunities last wednesday. God is good!

My story is a bit confusing because it is all over the place, anyways, I am here to share my devotion.  For today, I used the daily reading book that was sent from InTouch Ministries (Dr. Charles Stanley).

The verse is from Psalm 66 and these are the verses that spoke in my heart:

v5. Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

v8. Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
v9. who has kept our soul among the living
and has not let our feet slip.
v10. For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
v11. You brought us into the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
v12. you let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

Please read the verses because to every people who go through hard times in life, this is a reminder that God is testing us and that He will never leave nor forsake us. He will let us go through to these things because He is testing if our faith is genuine. In of the preacher I heard, he said that we should have joy when God is challenging and treat it as a positive test for us. He is challenging us to see the best out of us despite of all the trials we face. He will let you go through it but He will never leave you. Evil will try to bring the worse out of us but GOD will bring the best out of us, so we just need to trust Him. God hears our prayers.

GOD is good!
I give all the praises and glory to God for He deserves it.
