Facebook

Yesterday was a rather unproductive day, not because other people didn’t provide me the tools I needed to get work done, but because I was on the social networking site Facebook. Yes, I am admitting that I am addicted, not to the site itself, but to the ingenuity of the concept. I have “found” so many friends that I have lost touch with because life got in the way and now am able to keep up with current friends so the same thing doesn’t happen to us.
Isn’t technology great?!
Today’s devotional is called The Glory. It talks about how we have to endure suffering and afflictions so that God’s glory can be revealed. As I think about the ‘besties’ that I have reconnected with, I realize that my journey through life has brought me to this point of being able to share His goodness and to hear about how He has worked in the lives of my friends.

“Whatever our blindness ( as with the man born blind from birth who was given
sight-John 9:2) is, whatever our heartache is, when the final chapter closes on
our lives on this fallen earth, we will know that all the pain, the heartache,
the tears, the struggle, have been worth it.
When we ask, ‘Where’s God when
I’m hurting,’ we forget the amazing future reward He has promised. Not
only do we forget it, but we also underestimate it. We underestimate how
good the end of the story is really going to be.”

So no matter the decisions you have made and the obstacles that seem to be at every turn, don’t give up! Remember that what man meant for evil, God meant for good; there is a purpose. Hold onto His unfailing love, show the world He is the – I AM and when God rewards you, it will be far greater than anything this world has to offer.

Thank you that today I am filled with the joy that I didn’t know was coming and that the future is full of many things that I can’t phantom because if I could I might change some things that I think don’t ‘fit’ and I would miss all that You have for me.

“ ‘ For I know the plans I have for you’ – this is the Lord’s declaration – ‘plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’” (Jeremiah 29:11)


Hold on He is not through yet!!
