On Monday I talked to one of my parents. One of my youth, her son, has been working toward something for awhile now. It took him a lot of hard work and was a very competitive thing. To accomplish his goal, he had to be interviewed by some professional, well educated people. This interview was a potentially intimidating time.
As I talked to his mom afterwards, she shared with me that when he went to his interview, he took his Bible into the waiting area with him. He told her that he has prayed and read the Bible more in the last few weeks than ever before. How cool is that?! At a time when he needed guidance, encouragement, and strength, he turned to God.
After the interview, he and his mom prepared to wait a week for the results. Luckily, they didn't have to. He found out last night that he achieved his goal! When his mom talked to him about it he responded that he knew he would get it. Why, she asked. "God", he responded. He had put his trust in God to get him through this and to help him achieve his goal. His faith gave him the confidence to know he would.
I wish all of us, young and old could follow the example of this young man and his faith and devotion to God. No words can express how proud I am to know him. I look forward to seeing what else God has planned for his life because I am sure he is going to be following His plan.
So, where was God today? I saw an example of the trust we should all have in Him in this young man. I'm sure God is proud to have Him as a son.
Blessings,
Jennifer
