His.

I was thinking. About what might become of my results and driving test next week. With both of them coming out on the same morning, it's pretty much difficult to do exceedingly well in either seeing as how the odds have played out. I kept thinking about it. And worrying alot.

Then Jesus asks his disciples in Matthew 14:31, "Why did you doubt me?" And this line comes up before in other books in the Bible itself as well. Perhaps He is asking me this as well. Faith in the Lord will bring us only good things. He showers those who believe in Him and in all that He does only with good things. And it hit me, that faith is what I need to take away my fears. He will give me good things.

And good things do not necessarily come in nicely wrapped up packages like straight A1s. Sometimes you have to go through the difficult stuff to get to the good stuff. So, if there is any chance that I do get something good in a nicely wrapped up package, I will count all my blessings. But if there is a chance that I do have to go through the difficult stuff first, I think I'll be okay with that.


It's not my plan, after all. It's His. =)

Saviour.

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Psalm 61:1-4)


No wonder they call Him the Saviour.
