Last week, on my way to the office it was raining and I didn't bring any umbrella. At first, I was going to complain but I was convicted by the word that says, "do not grumble" so instead I thank God for the rain. It happened again yesterday when I'm on my way home from the office, same situation happened but no complain entered my mind, automatically I thanked God for the rain.
In the situations above, the result really blessed me. When I arrived at the office the rain slow down, enough for me not to get wet and as to the second situation, it was not yet raining when I arrived home.
Truly, the word of God is true that in "EVERYTHING give thanks". "Everything" on my perspective, means whether the circumstances around us is beneficial or not, we give thanks. God wants us to trust and love Him with all our hearts, mind, and strength. This is called faith. Believing in things that is of godly perspective before seeing the result is Faith.
Although, the situation above is just a simple one but my point is, if God bless us in simple circumstance how much more in bigger and complicated ones. God sees the intention and motives of our hearts. Sometimes, we may think that God does not answer our prayers but God says he will answer our prayers, as long as we humbly ask Him with the right motives, He will shower us with His blessings.
Let us stop blaming God of what happens to our lives. God is good. He is the same yesterday, today and tommorrow. He does not lie. His promises in the bible are true. Maybe the wrong part is on our side. Let us start cleaning (repentance) our own house (ourselves) with things (sins) that is not of use, so that the true light will go inside and it will manifest and influence the environment around us. Let us practice and discipline ourselves to possess this mindset or the kingdom mindset until the heavenly kingdom will influence - first, in our own mindset and then to the world. Hence, what is written in the book of revelation will come to pass, which says, "the kingdom of the world will be the Kingdom of our God." Isn't it wonderful?
Let us believe and have faith, so that the rain will stop. Love God with all our hearts, mind and strength!
