Praise God, Even in the Bad Times
Testimonies
This brings us to my part of the story. The end of July of last year was my family reunion in Elmira, New York. I had been looking foward to this all year. When the day came to leave for the reunion I didn’t have the money to go. I was upset with God over this as I trust God for all things and He knew I wanted to go to my reunion and how much I wanted to go. I had money, but the mortgage was due and I couldn’t use this money, so I got up and went to work. On my way to work I thought about Stephens’ story of how he praised God in the bad times and realized I should be doing the same. So praise God I did. I thanked Him for not giving me the money to go to New York. I figured we would have had an accident or something had we went on vacation so I praised God for his Wisdom. I worked through the morning and about Lunchtime I got a phone call, from my daughter Amy, telling me we had a check in the mailbox for $1,500.00, from a job I wasn’t due to be paid for, for 45 days. The company had changed their payment plan without giving me notice and we packed our stuff and went to New York. Now if that isn’t God at work then I don’t know what is. Praise our Heavenly Father even when things don’t seem to be going your way!!!!

This is a blessed revelation. Currently, I am unemployed, broke, facing eviction and was disheartened that the relief God has promised has not yet manifested. I was so brokenhearted but tonight after praying Psalm 25, I searched the internet for ‘miracle’ stories and came across yours. Thank you so much for teaching me on what it means to give God praise in all things. As of this writing, nothing has changed but I am wiser than I was a few minutes ago! :)
