Hope that returned when we give up

I have been working for one week straight without off day and had skipped one time after my first appearance at church. I was asked to work for this Sunday as well because the cats will be given away this week. Again, I lose my hope to go for church again.

This week’s sharing for GCF (Genesis Christian Fellowship) was all about to be steward of time. At one point, I also mentioned about how many of us spent time within 24 hours with God? Immediately, I regained the hope to continue on my struggle in order for me to be able to make it to church by next week.

On that evening, I was informed that I have been relieved from the duties on Sunday because of the infection of the eye (on Sasha) and [today] Sofie had undergone a spraying surgery. My other male colleague will need to replace his Saturday off day with Sunday. It means that I’m will have my off day on Sunday to allow me to go to church.

Earlier this week, another colleague of mine also were having devotion about God tested Pharaoh's heart (due to the Pharoah's hardened heart), to make sure Moses and other Israelites stayed in Egypt (in the Book of Exodus) until the last plague, the plague of the first-born, also (maybe) killed the Crown Prince. In contrast, God may also soften other people's heart as well.

Sometimes, we are unaware that God always will plan for us (of course, we also need to plan ours). Whenever we wanted to give up, God will somehow show His presence in many ways that deemed impossible. When we already regain the hope, God will surely bless us and give us a path. Thank you, Lord for all these things that has been showing that, "God is good, all the time!" I will make good use of the time on this Sunday's church service.
