the August that was, konti nalang
just as i start to ask, “can someone please explain wild August to me!?” (barring any more mishaps during the weekend), He sends me this answer:
August 28, 2009
VERSE:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
– Romans 8:28
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+8:28THOUGHT:
Bad stuff happens in life. Satan has a part to play in the bad
stuff. Our own sins and their consequences also play a part. The
rebellion against God and the spiritual weakness in those we love
bring hurtful things into our life. Sometimes, God even disciplines
us to awaken us out of lethargy or to correct some sinful problem
in our lives. Yet in all these things, we have an incredible
promise: If we love God and are seeking to honor his call in our
lives, our Father in heaven will work out all of the things going
on in our life for our good.PRAYER:
Father, I appreciate your promise to work out all things in my
life, both good and bad, for my good. I ask, dear Father, for faith
to believe this promise is true during painful and difficult times.
I ask for patience, O God, to hang on to my convictions when trying
times persist. I believe your promise, dear LORD, and look forward
to what you will eventually make of me when you are finished with
your work. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen.http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20090828
those who had the unfortunate chance to talk to me lately this month (or those i actually spend most of my working days with) would know what kind of misfortunes i’ve been surrounded with this whole month.
it’s been unreal. first my mom’s operation, and then the work-related theft. not that it matters to me personally, but tita cory started it off on Aug 1. stress, stress, stress.
then again, like His promise, all things will work out for the good.
Lord, it just gets tiring, you know?
