“A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all” (Psalm 34:19, NIV)
No matter what “troubles” you may be facing today, God has promised to deliver you! Notice today’s verse doesn’t say He’s going to deliver you from “some” of your troubles as long you say and do everything perfectly. No, if you are righteous today, then God promises to deliver you from all of your troubles.
How do you know if you are righteous? When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, when you accept His forgiveness and choose to believe that He is working in your life, then you are righteous. The Bible says in Romans 4, that “Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Your faith in the goodness of God is His righteousness at work in your heart!
If you are facing troubles today, expect that God has a way of escape for you. Expect that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Meditate on this verse and let it sink down deeply into your heart. Know that God is good, and He is your Deliverer today!
God knows your value; He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and he has a great plan and purpose for your life. Your dreams may not have turned out exactly as you’d hoped, but the bible says that God’s ways are better and higher than our ways, even when everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value. You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in God’s eyes always remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.
Tumblr! It’s been so long. I’ve missed you so much! Haha. Well, it really hasn’t been that long. I’ve been checking my account every once in a while but I never got the chance to update. Why? Here’s why :
For the past few days, ever since we arrived back from Riyadh, we’ve already been traipsing (i think it’s more in the line of running but for my mood’s sake, let’s call it traipsing) around Manila, going from UST to CEU to UST and back. I’ve been fixing my papers for my application to UST together with my mom and my brother and believe me, IT WAS DIFFICULT. Not that I didn’t know that it’d be this hard, but I’m just saying. So finally, I was blessed with the opportunity to take the transferee’s exam. It was really sudden, because as soon as everything got finalized, they scheduled me to take the exam at the exact same day. I was literally flabbergasted. Stunned. Astonished. Astounded. Stupefied. I mean I was preparing for this, but I had no idea that it would be so sudden. So, an hour before the exam, we ate and I prayed and prayed and prayed. Actually, I’ve been praying and wailing inside my head ever since this whole thing started. I just wanted to pass the exam and get enrolled. I didn’t want everything we worked hard for go to waste. I didn’t want to make my parents cry or get disappointed just because I didn’t do well, especially my mom. The pressure’s really been on and everything’s been really tough for her ever since we got back. After eating, we waited at the lobby of the UST Tan Yan Kee building and I was literally praying for my life the. whole. time. I’ve never been in a situation like this, feeling like you’re hanging on a thin thread, literally fighting for your life and waiting for someone to catch you. And I still am praying and hoping that God would be the one who’ll eventually catch me. Come on, I know that God will catch me. Psh.
Even as I sat on a random chair in room 102, I kept praying at the back of my head. I was praying for wisdom, knowledge, focus, concentration, and peace and at the same time, I was claiming success and admission. During the exam, I didn’t really know how to feel. And the feeling that you don’t know how or what to feel is scary. But, I never wavered and while answering the exam, I kept on praying. I know that everything goes on according to God’s will, but I couldn’t help hoping and praying na sana naman, ang will ni God ay yung makapasok ako sa UST. And as I answered the test questions, some questions were average, and some were really difficult. Those items were difficult to the point that I didn’t even know what they were and what the answer was but I still answered them. At the end of the exam, I literally gave out a huge and deep sigh, I didn’t know how and what to feel, but I felt a bit down. Mostly because I never really liked not knowing my chances and what would happen to me if this happens or not. It’s just a matter of faith.
So now, I will be waiting for the results to be released on Monday. I just hope I could really get in. Thoughts? Opinions? Words of encouragement, maybe? I could use a dose of encouragement, really. Thanks for reading! Pray for me, please?
Sadly, the issue on Tumblr fame will never cease because those who have it take it to their heads, those who think they have it use it inappropriately, and those who don’t have it work harder and harder just to have it.
