“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 KJV
Have you ever gone through a frustrating situation and wondered why it was happening? Sometimes we cannot see what God is doing until later.
Several months ago, I had a new floor installed, and unfortunately, there were problems with it. After months of frustration, arrangements were finally made to have the floors redone. This time, different installers were sent.
One of the installers, a man named Eddie, was sitting by his truck waiting for his partner to arrive. We started talking, and he asked me what I did at the office.
That opened the door for me to tell him about SOS Events Ministry and how we share the Gospel with people. As we talked, Eddie told me that he had been thinking about God lately.
I asked him a very important question: “Are you 50%, 75%, or 100% sure that if you died today, you would go to Heaven?”
Eddie said he did not know.
What started as a conversation beside a truck became a wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel. I had the privilege of leading Eddie to the Lord!
Suddenly, all those months of frustration over a floor did not seem nearly as important. God knew exactly who would be sent to my home that day. What I saw as a stressful problem, God used as an opportunity for someone to hear about Jesus.
God is so good! He can take our inconveniences, disappointments, delays, and stressful situations and turn them into blessings. We may not understand what He is doing at the time, but we can trust Him.
Maybe the difficult situation you are facing today is an opportunity God will use in a way you never expected.
Keep trusting Him. God can turn a stressful situation into a blessing!
