It’s easy to thank God when everything is going the right way. Or at least the way you think is right. For me, when the brand deal lands, when the followers pull in, when everything feels like it’s in alignment — that part doesn’t take much faith honestly.
But what about when everything flops? When you poured everything into something and the world just… didn’t respond?
The Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances. Not just the ones we’d put on a highlight reel. And I will be the first to admit that is a hard one to actually live out when you are a creator staring at 47 views on something you genuinely believed in.
Here’s what I keep coming back to though. God isn’t most glorified by the viral moments. He is glorified by faithfulness in the quiet seasons. By the fact that you showed up anyway. By the fact that you were willing to be used for something bigger than an algorithm.
That’s the kind of creator I want to be. Not a perfect one — I am nowhere close to perfect and we all know it. I would rather have purpose over perfection. I would rather be grateful even when it’s hard, trusting that impact doesn’t always look like a paycheck or a notification.
Sometimes it just looks like obedience.
