It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion’s exiles. We laughed, we sang, we couldn’t believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the nations— “God was wonderful to them!” God was wonderful to us; we are one happy people. And now, God , do it again— bring rains to our drought-stricken lives So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing. (Psalm 126 MSG)
Isn’t it funny how when ever our lives are in shambles we search for that thing that will make it all better. How if we are not really practicing our faith we become very active and praying every day that God will come to our rescue like He has every time before. Like God is some cosmic vending machine we only visit when we need something.
People marvel at the way I have held kept my cool and calm over the past 8 months as I have searched for a call. How I have been so relaxed about not obtaining a call quicker. I always commented that God has a plan for us and will take care of us. It was not just something I said but something I 100% believe. Now don’t get me wrong there were times I questioned and yelled ans got very upset with God. But you know what? God is big enough to take it and understand where I am coming from.
I say all of that to say it is OK if you don’t have it all together and your faith is not all that. If you need God to fix you that is fine He can do that and will if you will let Him. I also say that to say that if it were not for my faith and the blessings God has given me in my wife and family I’m not sure I would have made it this far. So don’t think you need something more than God has already given you. The thing you think will make your life great maybe something you already have!
