.His Mercy is New everY mornInG.
To me, the most beautiful thing I ever see throughout this week is simple faith. It's like a child's trust and believe on his parents. Whoever that have that type of faith, blessed is he!Many times, Daddy only require simple faith from us. Just listen to him and follow the Spirit's prompting. Israel used to have that kind of faith. When they came out of Egypt, God's pillar of fire at night and pillar of cloud in the morning were their guide. Manna from heaven and quail were their food. Guess what?!Their feet were not blistered nor they felt tired!!
I want this simple faith. Believing Him for provision, blessing, grace and love. Human complicates simple things. Rules and regulation are put into place. Rituals and ceremonies are brought in the picture. If these things please God, then Christ died in vain!How did we first become believers?Is it by the work of human or by grace of God?The simple act of believe got us where we are.
Anyway, I decided to go for honors year. Yes, I admit, the statistic and numbers scare me. I was disheartened for a moment.
Previously I gave up trying for honors because it was such an uphill task and I was nowhere near the qualification mark. The more I thought of it, the sadder i became. Later on, I started to condemn myself for not doing better in academic field. I told others that I'm not gonna do honors year, it was more like trying to convince myself. There was no peace inside. Something telling me not to say it. I just shrugged it away. Friday cg changed my decision. A blessed lady in my cg shared her testimony on how Daddy give her the 2nd upper honors degree she is having now. Her cap was 3.5 in year 3. And at the end of year 4, she graduated with 2nd upper class honors PLUS her journal was published in scientific magazine. She and her mentor discovered things during her honors project! Praise God!!!
The enemy was putting thoughts in me and still doing it even as I am typing this entry!!I reject that and in the name of Jesus Christ the eneny has NO POWER over me!And I reject all condemnation that comes with it!!Romans 8:1 there is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
I decided to look to Jesus Christ instead. Eng Chiong said during Fri Cg, we put 20cents in front of our eyes, therefore the 2o cents looks huge. The same as our problem. When I focus so much on the problem, it looks so much bigger than it suppose to be. But, Jesus is bigger!He was there even before the existence of the universe.
Phillipians 3:12-14
Especially verse 13 n 14, which says, 'Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing i do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.'
The verse seems to speak to me. Daddy told me to forget what has passed and continue on to press to the things in the future. Just like Paul who pressed towards the ' goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.'
I wrote down my heart desire on a powerpoint slide. I know Daddy will make this come to pass. Raphael shared on the blessing and blessed. I will continue to look on Christ and receive the inheritance Daddy has for me in Jesus Christ. When One wants to give to you, what do you do? Receive it!It will be an insult to the giver if you don't receive it! =P
More verses!!
"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being form ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God." 2 Cor 3:5.
"Therefore most gladly will I boast in my infirmities, that the Power of Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, THEN I am strong." 2 Cor 12:9-10
Daddy is good and He is faithful!
