Today's been a good day. Thank You God. Opened more doors for me to invite more people to the miracle encounter, they said they'll consider but i pray that God will move their hearts to come. Don't want anyone to miss out on something as great as salvation! An interesting that happened today was that while i was at uni doing a group assignment, i suddenly had this craving to just worship Him and be in His presence.. It was so random and totally out of the blue, but i really wanted to just go home and to start worshipping on the guitar. It was like a sudden spark and felt this inspiration come over me, and if i had a guitar i think i would have been able to write a song haha.. Just one of those moments i guess.

Day 87.

Found today's reading a little bit weird.. Read about the men of Gibeah from the Benjaminites, and how they're not really normal humans. So the goes with a levite and his concubine are on they're way back to Ephraim from Bethleham, and they stop by this town called Gibeah to stay overnight. Then as they're in this old man's house, something totally weird happens.. Judges 19

22 As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!
23 But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!” 25 But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go.

So i found it extremely uncomfortable reading it because it was pretty sick/disturbing.. But well because of this event, the other tribes of the Israelites waged war agaisnt the Benjaminites and destroyed all the men in Gibeah at the end. Why would God let such a thing happen? I'm not sure, but God has His ways, and this event is recorded in the Bible for a reason.. Soo we just have to learn from it, and pray really hard that such a thing would never happen again.
