hello. im kinda bored after studying like BIO for like dunno how many hours. im here to share some bible verses.
i think some of us here are facing trials and periods of testing from God right now, well, i just want to encourage those people and i hope these will help coz it helped me too.
Matthew 10:22b
Matthew 17:20
James 1:2-15
my own favourite is actually matthew 17:20
"...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."you know, when i was facing the down times i like to read this verse because i can imagine how
strong and powerful God can make you to be, but that is unless of course you have faith in Him. well, sometimes i know stuff dont really go our way and sometimes its really frustrating that things just keep going worse and worse and worse
worseworseworse. but dont forget- thats the best plan God has for you/us. maybe things are not going right right now, but i think if we just take a step of faith and perservere, things may just start to work out.
also, out of James 1:2-15, i want to point out verse 6
"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."i dont actually really know how to interpret this verse in blibical terms (?!) i dont know if im correct but ill try through what i learnt in literature. umm, see.
"wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind". picture that in your mind. it doesnt look like a nice scene right? its like abit
chaotic and stuff. so i think, if we ask, and dont put our faith in him, things might get worse or there would be no improvement. its like an
empty promise, you say something, but you dont mean it. being tossed by the wind is like, there's no direction, you follow the wind and there would be no definite answer because, the wind blows in different directions. so instead of expecting enlightment from God, you may be misled by other stuff.
i dont think the word
"tossed" is very nice either. its like, stuff will really get complicated and tangled and chaotic and all that. so think about it, if you are facing some
troubles right now, would you like to place your faith in God?
i think thats a good choice you know. after all He's the one who created and moulded
each one of us and He knows the best for us. and most importantly,
He wouldnt test us beyond what we can bear. well, maybe now this problem we have is really going past the limit, but look at yourself. are you still breathing? see, you survived! maybe its time we all start to try to just hold on longer and see what miracles our God has in mind for us!
actually if you dont understand what im blabbering about above, its okay. haha. acutally i dunno how the hell i came up with that. if its wrong then just ignore it and maybe someone come delete this entry to spare me from further embarassment. anyway yeps. oh i wanna share this two quotes too
"when the night seems to be its darkest, it means that the sun will soon be up, press on and dont give up."and
"dont tell your God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is."we're all going through this together!xxlove
