It is easy to glorify God when things are going well. We shout his praises to the rooftops when everything is working out the way that we want it to. What about those times though, when things aren't quite the way that we had planned? I am sitting here at home today, on a day when nomrally I would be at work. I no longer have a job outside of the home. I have spent some time as a stay at home mom, but I always figured that I would have a career. Now I see years ahead of me with no job to speak of. Can I glorify God now that I am lost and confused?
Of course I can! God is still in control! He still know everything that is happening and has a plan for my good. He wants me to have a hope and a future. I have a wonderful family and my children are very excited that mommy is home with them after school now. To tell the truth, I am pretty excited about it myself. My littlest ones are having a tea party in the living room with their dolls right now. My oldest will be home from school in a few hours and she will tell me all about her day. I will get to hear it first, not after she has already shared it with the people at daycare and forgotten about some of it. There is joy in that experience, and now that joy is mine.
While I may not always understand why things happen in this life, I do understand that I serve an amazing God and that He loves me at all times. I am never out of his hands.
