Day 31

Philippians 4:4 ~ “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (NIV)

Yesterday, two of my friends lost someone very close to them. Another person lost their job, while yet another didn’t get the job she was hoping for. One man received unfavorable test results, the other an eviction notice. This week there have been overdrawn bank accounts, family members fighting, inability to provide medical care for a child, and countless other issues. The people I know have been going through a lot. I want to remind you all today that no matter what the situation is, God is still good! He’s good when your loved ones die. He’s good when you lose your job. He’s good when you and your spouse aren’t getting along. He’s good when you’re living paycheck to paycheck. He’s good when you have cancer. God is good! Yes, the situation may be bad, but if you take a moment to look around you, you’ll see that there is also some good. God never said it would be easy, but we can rejoice in the fact that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, Rejoice. The best is yet to come!
