Yay i'm half way pass my first semester exams for my first year..hoho uni is gonna be looong.. Well gotta thank God for helping me in my exam today, it was much better than what i had originally expected it to be and surprisingly before my exam this morning i wasn't really worried about it and i could just feel the peace of God as i sat for my exam. Didn't have a blood nose like the previous exam, but had a blocked nose which was pretty irritating..couldn't get any oxygen to my brain half the time hahas, but God just placed like knowledge in me and whenever i came to a question which i wasn't too sure of, i would just write whatever's on my mind and i'd end up with a pretty decent answer which sounded right.. It's all God. Ok now for 2 more exams to go, gonna need God's help all the way! What will i be and what can i do without God!
Humility: Total and utter dependence on God?
Anyway today for devotion i read 2 Cor 5:9-11.
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
Great passage but i especially like v9. It should be a memory verse since its such a simple verse to understand, and yet with such great meaning. 'Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.' We all understand and all want to be pleasing to God, but for me personally, i always try to make an extra effort to be pleasing when i think of God, doing my devotions, or at church. Then i read the verse and what struck me was that we gotta make our aim to be well pleasing to Him, whether present or absent! The word absent just spoke to me. Many times when i'm more 'present'-minded, i always try my best to be pleasing to God, but during other times of the day, my mind always ends up drifting away and i become 'absent-'minded..Especially during these last few weeks, i would count being absent-minded as anything that is not God related, i have been focused studies so much that most of the time God get's pushed away to the back of my mind. I would really admire and want to learn from anyone who can actually be present-minded the whole day, and keep their focus on God 100% all the time. Our aim is to be pleasing to God at all times of the day, whether present or absent.
Ok time to catch on sleep..been having 5-6hr sleeps during the past week..not good for my body
Jesus you, gave what the world couldn't offer us.. we are free. .woah...
