There were days when things are going well. We feel great about life because everything is coming up roses. But there were also days when things go bad, we tend to lose hope or worse, our faith in the Lord. It's difficult to stay positive and hopeful during these moments. It's as if we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are left in the dark without any slightest sign of hope. How should we respond? Should we give up? or should we keep on believing?
I admire Manny Pacquioa's attitude when he faced defeat from his recently concluded boxing bout with Mayweather. In his loss, he remain faithful to God and continues to glorify God in his life. He's still grateful even if things didn't turn out the way he wanted it to be . He accepted that it's all part of God's plan for his life. He stays hopeful and keeps holding on to God's word.
The bible says in Roman 8:28 "
And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." This verse is a good reminder for all of us who may be in a dead end or hopeless situation right now. This verse is a promise from the Lord that everything will be okay because we love Him and we are called for His purpose. Isn't that a sign of hope for us? Our God is a promise keeping God. What He said in His word, He is faithful to fulfill in our lives. So when He said that all things will work together for good, He will work it out for us.
Whatever we may be facing right now, may it be a setback, rejection, failure or loss, I hope that we can be like Manny P. Let us keep the faith that the Lord is moving in our behalf and know that He has planned out a great future for all of us. :)
