i think i heard that from rlc.
was really really depressed yesterday….
T.T
finished my exam and… i seem to misinterpret and answer the questions wrongly….
T.T
i have no idea why my thought processes were all out of sync yesterday. i seem to be answering a different answer from what the question asked…. T.T
I have absolutely no idea how it would be possible for me to pass….
T.T
but in the end….
its time for me to let go,
and let God do His work.
it was pretty hard. i kept thinking about the answers and trying to count if it was possible to score some marks but….. T.T
then i started going on youtube cos i wanted to check out a preacher, Sy Rogers who’s coming this sunday to preach. then, to Joseph Prince’s videos and what he said really struck home.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
what he said was, Jesus’ peace is already with me. peace=shalom
wholeness, healthness, everything.
Jesus type of peace is different from the world’s peace. world’s peace= calm only when you meditate or when you drink tea but when troubles come….
Jesus type of peace is the peace He had when He walked through a group of people who wanted to stone Him, or the peace He had when He was in sleeping in the boat and there was a terrible storm out there. That’s His type of peace. The peace that calms you down and can hold on to.
Now I have His peace.
but…
there’s still a worry.
Then the second part was,
Do not LET your hearts be troubled.
God can’t control us from being troubled. He doesn’t want to control our emotions. its up to us.
after that, I was like…
yeah!
i WONT let myself worry. I’ve given it all to God and i have His peace. The peace that He had when he was about to be stoned and when He was in the storm, and when He was to be crucified.
I WONT LET.
That kind of reminded me of what I heard in rlc before but…. sometimes just need reminding.
then, as I was reading the Manna for Today book (rlc), (i tend to just randomly flick to a page read it ><), something really popped out.
page 133
Exo 14:13-18
Moses answered the people. “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today, you will never see again (YES! the notes and studies and lecturers, i will never see them again next year cos i WILL be going on to fourth year! YES!)
14. The Lord will fight for you; you need ONLY to be STILL” (again, peace. do NOT let my hearts be troubled)
15. Then the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to MOVE ON
16. Raise your STAFF and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. (right! why am i still thinking about the tests. why am i still crying, why am i still blaming God for not helping me during the exam, why am i still begging and whining to God? I should MOVE ON. look ahead. let go, and let God.)
17. I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharoah and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.
18. The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when (not if) I gain glory through Pharoah, his chariots and his horsemen” yes Lord. Let Go, let You, and You will gain glory through this. Let your glory be shone.
then, (hehe, i know its a pretty long post ><)
written at the bottom,
(i cut and paste directly)
The rod is a very simple shepherd’s rod. When that rod was commited to the Lord, it became the Rod of God. The way to commit to Him is to present our talents to Him. Whatever that is given to Him takes on the supernatural. Stop crying (T.T) or begging. Start resting and be still and see what God can do.
I was like…
T.T
ok!
stop!
I’ve given you my rod. so….
rest rest rest
focus on the next exam.
