WILL YOU STILL PRAISE HIM?

Some weeks ago, I put in an application for an opportunity I so looked forward to.

I prayed, sought the face of God, and did all I possibly could, including preparing well before, during, and after my application.

But I didn't get the opportunity.

When I was called about it today, I was disappointed. I cried. It was very painful.

Amidst the tears and disappointment, I looked up and realised God is faithful regardless.

I have since wiped my tears and been singing because the one who holds the future is still my God.

He knows what's best for me,

He won't deny me what is mine,

He is my father and He loves me no matter what I get or didn't get.

This is my testimony today.

I won't only thank God for when things go well, I will praise Him even for the things that do not go well.

My testimony and story are not complete without the disappointments and rejections, because they are blessings too.

So, Lord, I give you praise!

I worship you because you know what's best for me.

The same I would have rejoiced, and shared with the world how good you are if I got the opportunity, I have decided to share how faithful you are even in rejection.

YOU ARE STILL GOOD. YOU ARE STILL GOD! I PRAISE YOU!

Why am I sharing this with you?

No, it's not to seek your pity, and it's not that you will be sorry for me but that you will praise God with me.

And that you will also realise that you too can praise God in disappointments, in loss, in rejections, in failure, in what seems like a drowning or overwhelming situation. He is a loving and faithful father, and He knows what's best for you.

So, will you still praise Him?
