Stressfree waiting upon God

For almost all students from high school to university this is another time of the year. Some are done with exams while some are struggling trying to give the last kick of a dying horse. Now concerning exams and all that surround it, there are many things that happens during this period and many people are undergoing certain sicknesses which no-one can tell where do they come from. Some are so stressed, full of fear and hopeless. But the Bible records that God did not give us the Spirit of fear but of a sound mind. I know that this just becomes a re station for even some Christians but when fear comes hope runs away. Today many people think that God saved us in order to pass as a result many start worshiping Him during exams as to pass at the end. No good people, it is not like that! God saved us simply because we are sinners, He saved us to worship Him and resemble Him while on earth in deposit of the eternal life. That is why He says in the book of Matthew 11vs28 that "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". It is when we are in God that we do not stress of exams and results for we know that He is the one in charge. Yes, He cares for He said let's all cast our cares unto Him for He cares for us. If you happen not to make it during these exams I would love you to do a couple of things. I know you will be complaining that God I have done this and that, I have be faithful in all that I have been doing and I read my books and all. You will start cursing God as if there is no tomorrow. Just sit down and look back to where God took you from. Think of the challenges you passed through and ask yourself who helped you to make it through. Think of those who wanted to write those exams but could not because they did not have means to do so, some were attacked by demons but you were safe. Most people want to get married and have the most beautiful expensive rings on their fingers. Where does that ring come from? Yes from the gold but can you recognise the processing of that gold converting it to that ring? Let me remind you, before it becomes a ring amongst all stages it has to pass there is no painful one like fire. They are not destroying it but testing if it is the real gold. who are you not to be tested? Yes, you keep on saying not you, for who if not for you? Do you want everything to be fine with you, who will you glorify after your success? Another thing God does all things in purpose so we need to be sensitive and ask God about our situations before cursing God. Yes, when there is fire He does not close the door without opening the window. You might have suffered a lot and even thought that God did not exist, He is watching you. You might be puzzled right now not knowing what to do to get funds to further your studies. Do not loose hope, do not give up. During my time at high school I used to encourage others by saying "do not give up", when problems were coming my way I thought of those words and they are the one that keeps me going till this far. DO NOT GIVE UP, even if you do not pass or everything is just messed up in your life, do not give up, no matter how many times you can fail but God will not fail you. In Him there is no failure, to Him when you do not pass it does not mean that you are a failure but it basically means that the method you used failed you. Once you start failing inside you will surely fail in all that you touch by your hand. My next article will be saying "Failure is an inside job". For results, good luck God bless. Safe trips to our respective homes and even when we open next year. Satan is confused by the Blood of Jesus so he wants to compete with it by spilling people's blood during this festive through accidents, fights wars and all sorts of evil so that you won't rest. HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH YOUR FAMILIES. “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”- John 17:17
