Give Thanks

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. (Psalm 34:8)

Words can never fully expressed his gratitude towards the Lord, who had parted the Red Sea, who had brought me out of the wilderness into the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey, who had given him "manna" when he was still wandering in the desert, so that he may learn to humble himself and fully rely on Him, who had stopped the Jordan River from flowing, so that he may set his foot on the other side of land.

But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. (Deu 8:18)

On the sixteenth day in December 2008, he went for the interview in his current company, after jobless for nearly half a year. He knew he was weak and insignificant, but God's power helped him through his weaknesses, and he landed a job in AA. On the seventeeth day in December 2009, exactly one year later, in the same place and the same people, another good news arrived his doorstep, this time, the company decided to give him one month bonus after evaluating his performance. He'd never asked for more, all he want is just "bread and butter", and he doesn't expect much. But God is faithful, He gives him more than what he could imagine.

Traditionally, the month of December is the most profitable month for almost every company in the world. On December 2009, his salary was a whopping "five-figure" amount. This was due to the completion of his training earlier on which rewarded him another 3 months pay. After the confirmation by the company for the distribution of one month bonus, he's expecting another "five-figure" amount in January's pay.

He was happy for all the blessing he'd received, and those which are yet to receive. He'll never forget in those days when he cried for financial blessing from Lord, because he was jobless. He had barely enough money to live through each day, and he regarded those money he had as "manna", which he gathered them in the morning and take enough quantity for the remaining of the day. Those days seemed long and weary, and his life was like ship without rudder, tossing around heading towards unknown direction. Today, things have certainly changed, dramatically, and you'll be amazed at how God had turned things around.

Friends, are you going through difficulties in life? You feel like your situation is "impossible"? Are you feeling despair? Take heart my friend, the Lord who had delivered me will surely do the same to you in your hardship, if you'll depend on Him and wait patiently!
