Still no watch, man. But it's about time, because I'll be sending a message tomorrow night to file a dispute at Paypal. It's super productive today, but I'm tired. I'm starting to think if I should buy my textbook or not. Initially, I thought that I'm just looking to wing my course, but I'm having my doubt that the teaching notes online would be enough. It's still Wednesday crunch and I'm waiting for the weekend already.
It's cold outside today. While I was walking on my way to work, I felt discouraged and tired for some reason. But I found encouragement in asking myself who my God is. Then I'm reminded about all the things that have happened in the past. He's the reason of the great things that have happened to me. We didn't even want to come to Canada, but it seemed like the papers were worked on by themselves, and the next thing we found out is looking at our departure date. Who is my God? Well He is the God of the Bible. But who is the God of the Bible? Well, I can post a small resume of who He is:
The God of the Bible...
... saves from sin.
... heals all diseases.
... delivers us from powers and principalities and prince of darkness himself.
... is our provider; He is the Jehovah Jireh. He guides and He provides.
... answers by fire.
... is the God that has the power to give you wealth.
... is the Lord that gives you the power to get wealth.
... makes you the head and not the tail.
... will give you vineyards that you didn't plant, give you wells didn't dig.
... will plant you by streams of living water and whatsoever you do shall prosper.
He is our fortress. He is our high tower. He is our shield. He is our buckler. He is our helmet. He is the Living Word. He's the bread of life. He's the light of the world. He is the everlasting Father. He is the Prince of Peace. He is the judge of all the Earth. He is sovereign and He makes things happen how it's going to happen.
He is the One that healeth' me when I was on the brink of Hepatitis B/C due to a freakish blood condition when I was in University of the Philippines; the doctor returned with a result that I've had Hepatitis A and I made it back to school after 2 months of rest. While looking at the mirror, I saw a mole on my eyeball and I prayed for it, I never seen it again after I got home. He is the God that dissolved a lump inside my chest. He is the God that kept me safe when I was a year old from a stray bullet; my grandma told me that if I had not crawled away from my place, I would've been shot on the head -- the bullet ricocheted and grazed my grandma's leg. He is the God that kept me safe when I got chased down by a dog, when a tricycle driver popped out of nowhere driving towards me to scare away the dog; he later commented that he, too, was almost bitten by it. He kept me safe from being stabbed while a hold up was in progress, and none of my belongings were stolen. I'm living my dreams that I've never felt like living because of His providence. He is the God that disciplines; I have had my worldly plans canceled; I've had broken equipment that later gets fixed by itself; unexplained outcomes from work and school; they're all due to my selfishness, pride and sin. There are simply too many things to mention who He is in my life. He is who I need. He is my hope. And He is my God whom I put my faith in.
