Psalms 145:19

He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him, He hears their cry and saves them.

Indeed God is good. He is near to the broken hearted. He has plans to prosper those He loves and He will not harm them. In His good time, He will bring to pass what He has determined.

Several months ago, a sister was very distressed. She asked me to pray for her for she was facing many trials and tribulations in her workplace. She was a school teacher, but her HOD and fellow colleagues did not like her and gave her no help nor encouragement. She was told to take on many extra classes, even Art & Craft (which she likes and has training in it). But when the school needed a permanent Art teacher, she was told that she was not qualified. This sister was very disheartened. By the end of the year, she could not endure it any longer and asked the Principal for a transfer, but was rejected. She cried to the Lord and text me to pray for her. The Lord gave her a message in Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" She was much encouraged and went to see her MP to help her in her transfer to another school. She was told to wait.

Early this year, she text me and said she received a message from the MOE regarding her children's school transfer! She was shocked and also find the whole situation getting out of hand. At this point, she can not see how the Lord is 'doing a new thing', but she continued in her work faithfully, trusting the Lord will work for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

Just last week, she text me and shared with me the good news! The principal has promoted her! She just could not believe it. Her HOD must have recommended her for the promotion and the colleagues also have put in some good words. But she believes that the Lord is faithful to His promise. For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears toward their cry. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths. All glory to our awesome God. God is good, God is good all the time and God can never stop loving you! Just trust and obey - grow in your faith in who God is. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
