God is Good all the Time

Some of you may not know that, since November, Jonathan has been out of full time work. But God has totally provided. He is good.

During a 40 Days of prayer series at my church, Jonathan and I decided to pray specifically for his job situation. As I recall, we asked for God's timing and a specific salary amount. After 6 months or so I thought the answer had come. Jonathan had an interview last Tuesday for a position he was interested in. This was followed by a second interview on Friday morning. The second interview ended with a job offer! The salary amount was $2,500 more than what we asked for. God is good!

Around 7:00 Friday night Jonathan got a call from his potential boss. His boss, in his enthusiasm, prematurely offered Jonathan the position. He had to talk to a few more people and get back to Jonathan this Monday or Tuesday about the offer. Around 5:00 last night Jonathan got the call, the offer was no longer on the table. The position had been "re-scoped" and he was no longer qualified. This made for a not so joyful evening.

Now, I'm the type of person who tells people things so they'll feel sorry for me. That is not why I am making this post. Right after Jonathan got the initial offer I was calling people and emailing people, telling them about God's provision. Now, after Jonathan's job offer has been taking away, I need to continue to tell people about God's provision. He is still good....this job was just not in His plans for us. I know He will make a way.

"Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Here is another example of God's goodness:
