I was in the mall this past winter and saw this amazing sparkly sign that said "BLING". I told my son that we must go over and take a photo. Then we proceeded into the store.
We met a beautiful woman and got to talking about bling and blessings.
Long story short we shared about health issues. And boy do I have a lot to share in that category.
In the end, my new friend learned about my naturopathic doc and found relief! PTL!
This God meeting was brought to you by my eye for shiny, pretty things.
God can use all things for good...and He does.
I was reminded of all of this by a grateful message commented on Facebook.
Yep, God has used Facebook as a blessing in my life in more ways than I can count.
Even though some want to use it for bad (my account was hacked into on the 4th of July), God intended it for good!
You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. Genesis 50:20a NLT
This comes from the mouth of Joseph. Joseph whose brothers threw him in a well to die, got a new idea as they ate lunch and instead sold him into slavery and covered it up with the blood of a goat on his coat of many colors. (See the whole story of Joseph in Genesis 37:1-50:26)
The above verse was stated after many years of Joseph being faithful. He chose to see God at work in every day life.
This is my desire. To stop being caught up in the mundane of the same old same old. And look for blessings in the serving of others, making of the meal, strolling in the sunshine, watering of the flowers, and even shopping in the mall. Believe that God is at work in the normal.
Bling...it is good.
Blessings,
Amy
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
