I quickly wrote in this blog before I replaced it 'this is a test', and I realised after about a week of comtemplating that is what my first topic should be testing.
Ive experianced that this week, but no matter how hard a experiance in the moment, God's plan is always good.
On Monday I said something rude about a class mates girlfriend. I didnt really register that I said anything wrong until later on in the day. It was a moment when my mouth was running faster then my brain could register. I sent a message of apology over Facebook, which probably wasnt the best medium of apology. I ended up feeling quite anixous about the situation for the rest of Monday and Tuesday. Until I logged on Facebook on Wednesday morning, and it told me that the couple had broken up. If I had anything to do with their break up is another thing. But thats the first of two incidents this week where I have said something without thinking and got into trouble for it.
Now those moments of anxiety were very testing for me. Not Job type testing obviously, but there was certianly a message to be heard and a lesson learned. And you might think 'Oh, God doesnt care if im a bit judgemental and say things without thinking' but he does. And Im not a saint, ill admit that. But I've learned from this week to take one of the most basic lessons into practice. 'What would Jesus do?' I get that most of us arent 5 years old, but its so true. So simple. What would Jesus do? Think that thought before doing anything and I can guarntee your life will change. So even if this week was quite testing for me, ive took something away from it. God has control in everything.
Even if you think life has gone off the rails,He has control. You might be more broken down then you have have been in your life, but its just a test. God doesnt give weight to people if they cant handle it. I find that the people with the most weight are the people who praise God the most.
Dont ever think that God has abandonded you. He is always there and His plan is always for good.
For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:10-12
