Yup! It is good to give thanks to the Lord always. I wanna thank God for having Christian friends who care enough, shared with me their experiences, encouraging me along the way and even prayed with me in the midst of testing.
One brother even send an SMS with these verses and words of encouragement:
"Psa 33:16b a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Look at Samson, his strength made him weak. But for David, his weakness was made perfect in Jehovah to defeat Goliath. Amen"
Yup! Truly to go through this testing, it cannot be by my own strength but by God's mercy, strength and power.
Thank God also for the Sunday school teaching on Romans 6.
Rom 6:3-4 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Yes, I was baptised in 23rd December 2001. Did I baptized into Christ death? Did I die to myself and walk in newness of life? What is it that I have promised to God during my baptism? That I will read the bible daily and strive to lead a holy life. Have I failed to do that?
These questions popped up in my mind. Thank God for reminding me the meaning of baptism even as I had answered it myself, I want to obey what I had promised to God before man. There is something that I have learnt in my NS life: "Tough time don't last but tough man do!" Yes, my testing will not last forever, but it is whether I will trust in God to do what is His will for me in life. Pray that God will delivered me soon!
Amen!
