GOD GAVE ME FULL MARKS IN MATHS! hallelujah! all praises to His HOly name!! Though my total wasnt as high as i had expected, i am so glad with these marks i have got! And it is all God's grace alone!!!!!!!! I just wanna keep praising and thanking HIM!

I wanna say this along with the Psalmist (taken from Psalm 18, verses 28 to 32)
28: Yea, thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
29: Yea, by thee I can crush a troop; and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30: This God -- his way is perfect; the promise of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
31: For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? --
32: the God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe.

Blessed be His name alone!

Jeremiah 33:3

3: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known.

as u all probably know, my results are coming out tomorrow... i was praying and reading the Bible tonight, when God gave me this verse... He says 'call to me'... and guess what i did?! i just called Him! And i found it so amazing that HE answered!!!!!! that is soooo true! I was alone in my room and praying... and i just called "Jesus, I call u, because Your word says that i must call U... so i call U Jesus... please answer me according to Ur Word.." and it was so amazing the way He answered me! Praise be to GoD! He gave me peace and removed the fear and anxiety in my heart... HE really answered me!

And the verse further says that HE will tell me gr8 and hidden things which i have not known... and yeah as per the WOrd of God, i still duno what those 'things' are .. but u know what? I have faith in Jesus Christ , that HE will show me gr8 things and HE will do something nice in my life for the glory of His name.

I prayed that the Lord's will be done in my life, regarding my results..so now i am confident that what ever i get, it is frm the Maker of this Universe and HE obviously knows what He is doing.. Now this is one answer i got from calling Him... HE gave me understanding to understand that my life is in His hands and HE has planned my future even before the foundations of this world was laid!

Read on what is given in the book of Psalms...
psalm 139:16: Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance; in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

God has a book and He has written all about my days and everything is so planned... so why must I worry, when i have such an awesome Heavenly Father who has planned everything and who has got everything under HIS mighty control!

All glory to the Lord who answered me when i called!

1st Chronicles 5:20

20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him. (new King James Version)

This was the verse that God gave me today... I was reading 1st chronicles and i was so bored when i saw that the first few chapters had nothing but names & genealogies, but the Lord asked me not to consider any part of the Word of God, a waste of time... so i continued reading and i read 5 chapters today. This verse is found in the last chapter that i read today, but this verse really spoke to me. I didnt meditate much as I should have, but then, lemme share wat i understood from it and how i might apply it in my life.

The first thing that captures my attention is that, "they cried out to God in the battle". The people must have really pleaded the Lord to help them & that is exactly what i must also do, i think. I must not hesitate to plead and cry to God for help.

And the next part that drew my attention was, "He heeded their prayer". The online dictionary gives the meaning of the verb 'heed' as follows - to give careful attention to. Now thats so amazing, isnt it? The Great and Awesome God of Israel pays careful attention to us, if only we cry out to Him. Wow! thats something interesting!! I am reminded of this song 'sing for joy', which goes like this - "if we call to Him, He will answer us".. something of that sort. It is really nice and comforting to know that GOD himself gives ear to our cry, but I believe there is one condition... and that is the third part of this verse...

"because they put their trust in Him"... Now, we see that God heeded their cry, just because they put their trust in Him. When we completely trust in the Lord and confess that He is our all in all, then, just depend on Him... He is always ready to heed us & our cry... I guess Proverbs 3:5 and 6 says this same thing..
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct[a] your paths.

When we call out to our Living King of Kings , in complete trust in His might and grace, HE WILL heed us, or in other words, HE WILL pay attention to us and will by no means cast us away. He is such a faithful God. Hallelujah!!
