Sometimes I have days when I can't see clearly what's happening, but I know God has a purpose for it. Today was really rainy, apparently because there was another typhoon coming through the region, and it literally rained all day long. I went out for about an hour and didn't expect anyone to be out, although there were a few people out walking their dogs. It was more difficult to praise today, but I got through. I went to Suido park, and chose not to praise walk the perimeter because I know how soggy it gets. So I just read in my usual spot. Again, in my peripheral vision I could see someone hurry past and out of the park, but I have no idea who it was. I walked a bit of a longer way home, praising as much as I could. There were only a handful of people, here and there, all in a hurry because of the rain. When I got back to my apartment, I stopped at the door and spontaneously decided to read right there, on my front porch. Again, I saw a kid dash past while I was reading. I also thought I heard some noises from the neighbors within their houses, as though they were aware something was happening outside.
Days like these might seem discouraging, but really they lead me to trust God more. Because it's not a matter of what I do seeming effective or purposeful to me, but it is a matter of God's sovereign plan, and my obedience to His call. To God be all the glory!
