Prayer meeting tonight felt different for me, not like the previous ones, but it was still good :) im glad that i went. Tomorrow morning is my last exam and is gonna be the last of my 5hr sleeps, waking up this morning was soo hard.. i woke up when my alarm went off, but couldn't even open my eyes, just moving my eyelids seemed so painful and heavy.. weird feeling haha never felt that before. Not too stressed out about the exam though, not sure if it's because its the last exam, or its peace from God.. haha either way i got this feeling that everything will work out fine and that God is gonna be helping me in my exam tomorrow!
Today i read 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5. I think i've read it before but reading it again is always different!
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
Well what really spoke to me was when i read v2, and at the end it says 'for not all have faith', and i began to start thinking of myself. Like do i have faith? im pretty sure i do, that's why i pray. But isit possible to have like partial faith? Like have faith in one thing but not the other. I have faith that God answers prayers and does miracles, but is it possible to also at the same time not have as much faith in other areas? Like is there such a thing to have faith in God, but also at the same time not like 100% faith? If people say they have faith, why are there still so many who live and act like they don't? To live a life of faith, i would also imagine it to be something like living like the 12 apostles, but sadly i don't see much of that very often. I don't think that faith has changed over the years, it's just when we read the Bible of all the things that were being done back then, why isn't happening here and now? We've got the same faith, same Jesus, same God, same Holy Spirit. The only thing that is different is the vessel/carrier, which is us. Soo wouldn't that mean that the problem lies with us, that we're not experiencing what we're meant to be?
