My exams ended on Wednesday. Through it all, I have seen wonderful displays of God's grace. I wait in confident expectation for my results!Went out with half of my class on Thursday. Usually I'm not a very sociable or talkative person among people I'm unfamiliar with(sadly this includes many class members. I hope this changes soon). Sometimes I plan to be more outgoing and am disappointed when I fail to do so. That is why I feel encouraged by Proverbs 16:1 and 16:33:We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. (Proverbs 16:1)We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall. (Proverbs 16:33)
Do you know what is the best thing about God being in control, no matter what we humans plan? Its knowing that God is the being that loves you the most! His mind is always on your welfare:For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)
In context, the above verse was given when the Israelites were in captivity. Don't let your outward circumstances deceive you into thinking that God doesn't care. Sometimes, we need to undergo trials in our life to walk out the destiny that God has for us. Would Joseph have made a good king had he not undergone hardship? The trying of our faith produces patience(James 1:3). Life may not be easy sometimes, but God is with you, through it all.
This was unexpected. I only intended to blog about my class trip on Thursday. Hopefully somebody will be blessed by this truth. God bless!
Abba, You love me.
