Nobody Knows?
" But if i go to the east, He is not there; if i go to the west, i do not find Him. When He is at work in the north, i do not see Him; when He turns to the south, i catch no glimpse of Him. But He knows the way that i take; when He has tested me, i will come forth as gold." --Job 23:8-10
tis is wad God told mi tis morning..actualli tis shld be fer yest..but i was too tired yest..so drag..i sensed smt's wrong last nite..i made my own assumptions n i was troubled..i dun understand why God does so..i was tinking of tt as i woke up tis morning..as i prayed..i commit the problem to God..n tt is wad He told mi..
today's material tok abt tis person..he realise tt he had leukemia n needed bone marrow transplant..there onli 20% chance of surviving..in the hospital..he was alone..depressed n lonely..Jus like Job he search fer some mightly work or word from God to give him hope.But God had another plan fer him..he did not send trumpets and angels with glorious signs and miracles..
" Know that the testing of your faith develops persevenace" James1:3..i believe tt bad news doesn't alwas meant bad..it may juz be a form of test of faith..it will help to shape us into a better person..in the process of moulding a pot..it will be painful..but the overcome is a beautiful pot..from a pile of clay into a pot..isn't it wonderful?..it reminded mi of the story of God asking Abraham to offer up his son..
God knows all about our deepest problems..He will nv forsake us..
