Hi ppl,

I just wanna share w you a testimony and the encounter i had with God during my lowest point. Hopefully it will encourage you (:

Title: Faith & Trust

When something goes wrong in your life, and you can do nothing about the situation, many of times; you'll feel dishearten.
Situation is worst when things have always been smooth in your life and you've nvr faced any setbacks but all of a sudden, failure strikes you.

There are just some things in my life that isnt going too smoothly or rather i've nvr faced any setback like this. The first day, i was really upset. I cried and i questioned God, "why things turn out this way, this is not what i wanted. Haven't i been faithful in serving you and abiding to your words?" I didnt even wanted to serve that weekend and wanna hide away from the whole world but I really thank God for His words. If not for His words, my Faith and trust in Him will waver.

God reminded me of many verses in the bible. Just to share a few here. One of which is in James 1:2 where God reminded me that these are trials in my life, and that He is testing my faith and trust in Him.

The other verse He reminded me is taken from Col 1:3-14. On sat, when i attended service, i really came with a heavy heart. I really didnt wanna sing praise and so i just clap my hands "Strengthlessly" and didnt sing with a thankful heart to praise Him. Then again, God reminded me from Colossians to give thanks and praise God no matter what situation we are in. I was also reminded by what Pastor shared before. He mention that it is really difficult to praise God in times or troubles and at your lowest point. But he also said, all the more you shld give thanks to God, and praise Him even louder. Thus, i lift my heavy heart up unto God and started praising Him. Indeed all was good. I felt much relieve after that.

Then again, on Monday, another situation hit me. I was lyk really depressed; once again i ask God, "God, I tot you gave me your word, that nothing is impossible thru you, that if i continue to confess over it, it'll come to past?"
But God replied me instantly, "I am stretching you, bringing your faith for Me up to the next level." I was also reminded that God ways are higher than my ways. He has His plans for me and His plans will nvr go wrong. So i told God, "Show me your plan, God!"

True enough, He showed me His plans. At the start of October, when i had decided that i want to go SOT 2011, I trusted God. I trust that He will provide the fees for me, i trust that He will help me to plan my time so that SOT will not clash with my Uni classes. Now, God really showed me His plans. If i pass all my modules, my classes will be mostly in the morning especially in march. Now that i have to retake certain modules, my classes are mostly 330pm onwards and only one or two classed in the noon. For those who dont know, SOT classes are 830am to 1pm. Indeed, God ways are higher than my ways. He had it all plan out for me.

I am no longer upset and i aint afraid to share this. Yes, i failed 2 modules (which i really did not expect). It was a great blow to me becos i have nvr failed in my life or rather i have nvr failed examinations before. But God is faithful! When i trusted Him and feed on the Word of God, He showed me His ways. He is an awesome God and i can stand firmly and say becos of this, my faith in Him has increased and i have moved up to the next level.

To all christians: Nvr Give Up on God when u are faced with a difficult situation and dont understand why. For God will bring you out of the situation. He will nvr put u in any situation too difficult for you to handle. Trust Him, Have Faith in Him and Read His words.
