Oh no. I've just deleted an entire post by accident. Here goes again...
God takes care of everyone even in the smallest possible way.
Matthew 10:29 says, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father."
Yesterday I was feeling desperate, not knowing where to get the planks for MAF. My father and I had frustrated each other. But then my counterpart called and said that the planks had been ordered. Phew.
Today, I had to pass a message to someone. But I had been tired out. Just as I was walking through the door, I met her. Phew too.
These things might seem insignificant and even coincidental, but to me it shows how faithful and loving God has been. I have missed out many other things that He has done too.
1 Corinthians 10:13
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
These few days have been desperate. I've felt like a total disaster, hating the way I treated others with snob even though I was supposed to be a Christian, and hating myself and my ways. A storm of stress. But God accepts us as we are; He is willing to make us clean of our sins no matter how ragged or filthy we feel. The good news is, His goodness lasts forever. It does not mean that if you've sinnned after you've accepted Christ as your Saviour that you need to be cleansed again. It's like God giving you a check saying "So-and-so's sins have been eternally cleared from his account. Those sins have been taken care of by Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead."
It isn't worth talking about the countless things going on in my life right now; ranting away seems to make the itch itchier. Try this.
I remember how the past few days have been so busy, so dark, and so dim. I had not prioritised my time, having no time to talk to God in prayer and dedication. I feel guilty about not spending quiet time with Him. It's just like walking on a rugged road, with the mist everywhere around you, and God somewhere behind the grey mist. "Where are you?" I cry out.
Yet God is faithful; he brings us to troubles and He will keep us through them. It's like He's trying to purify you with fire; it'll burn, but it's for a short time; after that you'll be something better.
Therefore put your hopes in God, and His promise of your salvation and heaven.
Remember: He's always there, guiding you on the hard path, offering you His refuge and shelter.
Check this out.
The Christian's life is about a race, many struggles. It's not an entirely smooth ride; there'll be battles to fight, but God promises that we can always be victorious through them with His help and strength.
Anyone knows the difference between a believer and non-believer?
