The hard days maybe the time God is testing your faith With a lot a discouraging news on work condition and downturn of economy, the thought of it might have a depressing impact on your future planning. Some may have already felt agitated especially those who have been directly hit by the recession. But lucky enough the recession was not like a sudden bomb that exploded without any warning at all. Perhaps, we could just be going through a testing of time and start tightening our belt a little bit. I was in one government office waiting for my papers to release. A man in microphone who is calling out the names of those released papers made his overture, "you know we, who already experiencing poverty will no longer affected by the recession, because we have been used to it, unlike those who are in an affluent status, they could be badly stricken if ever." I chuckled, in approval, as he looked at me. I was sitting in front of him. I'm sure this man knows the way to endurance and patience, I told myself.
I was reminded of the Jews during their 40 days in the wilderness. There were lots of complaints along the way as they experienced fatigue, hunger and thirst. Yet, the ever faithful God, never abandoned them. They were fed and given water to drink. God sent them pillar of fire during the night and pillar of cloud during the day, to make them feel comfortable. But the people don't realize God's blessing to them and continue to bicker among them and yearn for those days they were in Egypt, where foods are visible and material things are within reach.
I would like to think, that there would be two things which may possibly happen if the recession continue to persist; it's either the people would seek God more or stray from God even more. At any rate, God is not asleep. He knows that everything would have its own time and season... and for his own people God will make it pass
Hebrews 11:1-3
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
