Hey guys,
It's been a while since I blogged (although I have no idea if people actually read my posts hahaah) and it's about time!
For quite some time, I've been having this fear inside of me, building up as I continued brushing aside the negative thoughts of receiving poor Os results. Hey cmon, the fear is real yea? So yes, as time went by, this fear started to hinder my vision and I started to lose faith in His promise of Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)
I started to doubt myself, and started looking to the careless mistakes of the papers I took. As I took my eyes off Jesus, the fear escalated. And I found myself afraid.
Afraid of what?
Of asking God and trusting Him for good grades. I felt as if I had no right to expect good results, because it would be wishful thinking. The continuos brushing aside of those negative thoughts instead of hearing the word of God to build my faith, led me to look away from Daddy God's unmerited, undeserving favour.
I can expect good results not because I worked hard for them, am smart enough, etc, but because of the very fact that His goodness isn't based on my performance, but His greatness!
Moreover, the first arrow service, just yesterday, was a very timely message. It was about faith, and how it comes by hearing the word of God, believing, and finally by walking it out! Fear and doubt robs you of your dreams and desires. But you know our Daddy God is just so amazing? :-) He loves us so much. Idk how else I can explain His love because it's just too much!!
In all, I just want to encourage you to step out and ask the Lord with audacious faith! How many A1s you want, which school, which course, which group of friends, etc, ASK OF HIM! Many a time we are afraid to ask the Lord because we are afraid that it won't come to past. But why are we limiting God, when He is not only able, but WILLING to give us more than what we can ever aka or imagine!
To end off, I'd like to encourage all those taking their results with a few very powerful sharing a from precious friends!
Shalom,
