Day 19: Worth Series - #2 Knowing His Power

-

You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.
Psalms 77:14 NLT

    We all know that God can do anything He wants, including His intervening to our plans if we let Him do it. He also gives us our desires if those are in lined with His desires for us. Today, I want to share my own testimony on how God performs signs and wonders up to this point.

    I transferred to another university as a BS Astronomy student after a year of studying Information Technology from another university. The reason why I took up BSIT is because the year when I’m about to start as a first-year student, my scholarship doesn’t support BS Astronomy. So, to take the scholarship, I took a course that is supported by the institution.

    I know deep inside my heart that I love Astronomy. But I set aside my plans to be more practical and to get the scholarship grant given to me. I was so convinced with myself that I will just take BS Astronomy after I graduated BSIT if it is God’s will. But I was wrong. The year after I took BSIT, the university that I’m admitted right now had an agreement with the institution which supports my scholarship. They finally decided that BS Astronomy will be included to the courses supported by their scholarship grant.

    So, after one year of waiting, here I am, taking up BS Astronomy to my beloved university and at the same time, my scholarship wasn’t affected. Some of my subjects are also credited from my former course I took. It’s also a good thing for me that other subjects that I learned in BSIT like Programming helped me cope with Programming subjects in BS Astronomy. I was so thankful to God because when you come to think of it, I’m a year delayed. But as I have mentioned above, I was so convinced that I will just take up that course after another degree. So you see, I am three years earlier! It’s not that I don’t like Information Technology. It’s just my heart really wants to go to the path of Science with relation to Astronomy. I really love that course because it makes me wonder more of how amazing and great God is – His creation from darkness to light.

    Our plans will be seen by others as late, not in time or delayed. But listen to this, God’s delay is not God’s denial. He just wants to give lessons while we wait. And from those moments of waiting, we should be faithful to Him. For me, His timing after a year is great and on time! Why? Because He just let me get used to the environment where my faith will be tested. And through those experiences, I became stronger and braver. I became more resilient and aware with my emotions as I face that Science vs Religion course. I stood and will always stand with my faith, principles, and convictions.

    We may see things as if we can’t have them because they’re so impossible to achieve, or sometimes we’re on the verge of giving up because we can see that there’s no more way to get them. But let me be the one to burst the bubble you’ve been setting your mindset into. I just want you to know that God make ways that sometimes we ourselves cannot imagine happening. That is how powerful He is. He’s got the whole world in His hands.

    Our waiting should be full of trust and faith. No more doubts because God always keep His promises.

    Have a blessed day!

Day 12: Self-reflection

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV      Personally, this verse is my devotion for today. I will let the passage I read to talk to you today because I am also reflecting and learning about it. We need others’ reflection, too. We need it because we know that different people have different perspectives about a certain verse. We have different inputs, and I want to share the one I saw today. It is from the YouVersion bible plan provided by Loop. I am blessed by this and I hope this will bless you too. Do You Wonder About the Plan?      I know you want to see what’s ahead. I know it is difficult to not know, to not know what is around the corner. I know you wonder if I have a plan.      My daughter, how could I not have a plan for this world? How co...

Day 4: He Knows the Unknown

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NIV     Do you have a dream? Whether to excel in studies, to have a good relationship or waiting for a promotion, I bet we all have at least one in mind right now. I have a good news for you: Did you know that God has the best and biggest plan for us?     There are three principles that we must follow in order to achieve our God-given dream. But let us first take this example and apply them to all the principles. Y our parents promised to buy you a car after you graduate. But you're still in grade school. Everything Takes Time.                    It's exciting but kinda frustrating right? But with our without promise, you strove hard and did your best in school to graduate with flying colors. At last! You finally have your own car. The years of waitin...

Day 13: Amazing Grace Series - #1 Privileged

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor. He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. Psalms 61:1-3 NIV      God has given us grace for us to use it for His glory. We are called to be the followers of God, and we have the responsibility to bring the Kingdom here on earth by sharing His Word to everyone. Through God, we can do anything: When someone is aching, we are to give them comfort; when someone is being bind by evil, we are to fre...
