Isaiah 26:3,4

3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

This was the verse that God Almighty gave me this morning. Actually I have been going thru a very depressing situation.... and I was really worried as I woke up this morning, how things were gonna turn out. But praise Jesus who was faithful as always! HE has been true to His Word.

The third verse says that He will keep the one who's mind is stayed on Him. And by His strength, I tried my hardest to see God in everything that happened today and trust that HE knows what HE is upto & u know what?? HE kept me in peace, in perfect peace and this was witnessed by the people around me. Today I had my practical exam and I wasn't sure of a few experiments... the other students were also in the same boat. None of us were confident. Though I wasn't sure of my experiment, I was sure of one thing and that was the assurance that Jesus Christ is always with me. All I thought of, before entering the lab, was the almighty power of the Lord I serve. I was literally singing to myself, as i was waiting for my turn to enter the room. All the other students, were tensed and one girl remarked "look at her!! How cool she is! Phew! No one can be like that..". I praise God, coz her statement assured me again, that I was trusting in the strength of Jesus. But, I got an experiment, which was not sure of. And doubts crept in. However, my prayer before I chose my question, was "Lord, give me the experiment U think is necessary for me". So the Holy Spirit encouraged me to trust in the Lord, the same thing He reminded me in the morning, from the 26th chapter of Isaiah. I couldn't have done that experiment by myself. I can stand boldly and declare anywhere & before anybody that I did my experiment successfully ONLY BECAUSE JESUS WAS WITH ME & He was faithful in His promise. All glory to His Holy name alone! :)

And as the 4th verse explains the reason why we got to trust in the Lord was also perfectly true in my life, especially today. Coz the Word of God says, in The Lord Jehovah, is EVERLASTING strength. Yeah, I am a witness for that. He lives and in Him is strength that is eternal. This strength lasts forever and it is not less one day and more the other day. The strength that HE gives us, is just soooooooooooo amazing and I can say I have experienced that. Hallelujah! And all that He asks of us, is TRUST. And once we learn who HE is, it really is not hard to trust Him. U just know that HE is there for u, no matter what. And HE is incredibly wise and strong and once u realize that, actually, there is practically no difficulty in trusting His strength and love. He keeps us in perfect peace and words can never really express that peace. One has to experience it. And I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo grateful HE has given me this grace to learn to trust Him, out of all the billions of people alive today. All glory to His matchless name! And I encourage each and every one of my readers to try trusting in this Super Awesome Jehovah. I am sure ur mind will also be at perfect peace...

And I mentioned about my sorrowful state this morning, remember? If not, go back and read the start of this post. ... Praise be to the Lord who lives forever! He has helped me to come out of it and HE has answered my prayer in the wisest and best way ever! Jesus is so great and I really wish, all of u, will also taste this Cool God! He is so faithful to His Word. If HE says something, HE always, I mean, always, each and every single time, keeps His Word. And that's why HE is so amazing!



Here is one song I love... lets bless His name together..
I just keep trusting my Lord as I walk along
I just keep trusting my Lord and He gave a song
Tho the storm clouds darken the sky o'er heavenly trail
I just keep trusting my Lord He will never fail

He's a faithful Friend Such a faithful Friend
I can count on Him to the very end
Tho the storm clouds darken the sky o'er heav'nly trail
I just keep trusting my Lord He will never fail.

I just came across this song today and I am really moved... Here are the lyrics and a very good video.

Hold Fast

To everyone who's hurting
To those who've had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp
So hold fast

Will this season ever pass?
Can we stop this ride?
Will we see the sun at last?
Or could this be our lot in life?
Please do not let go
I promise you there's hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is Your grasp
So hold fast

You may think you're all alone
And there's no way that anyone could know
What you're going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we're soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone?
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity, Lord
Here He comes

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is Your grasp
So hold fast

So folks, all I am saying is this Jesus, is someone who is worthy of all our trust. PtL!

Ecclesiastes 3:12, 13

12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.

What a lovely verse! Just reading it makes me feel warm in my heart and there is a smile on my lips.

before I elaborate on what I understood from this verse, I would like to remind myself and my readers that these words were uttered by the great and wise King Solomon, under the Holy Spirit's inspiration.

He says there is nothing better than to be happy. I think this is a very simply fact, but it is something that I always tend to forget, atleast in the recent past. I mean, I have been thinking of things that hardly matter and they have been making me feel really low. If I had given ear to this Word of God, I know I wouldn't have wasted so much time feeling sad. Now I understand that God wants me to be happy & that is the best I can ever ask - being happy. Yes, I am happy now, by God's strength I am happy now. I know that when HE is there for me, I really don't have to worry how I am gonna prepare for my exams and all those things that keep worrying me. Jesus is alive and that is all I need to know. He is with me and I have every reason to be happy.

When we are happy, we tend to spread that happiness to others. Don't u think so too? This verse also says that there is nothing better than being happy & doing good. Doing good ... mmm.. I am sure that when we feel sad, we don't really feel like doing good. But just imagine, u were the happiest person ever... don't u think u will be smiling always and cheerful and going around sharing and helping and doing everything positive. I can assure u (according to my imagination), that I will always be looking out for opportunities to do good IF I was the happiest person alive. And I think that, that will be the best life ever. Why don't we all live that BEST life God has in store for us? I am sure that if we learn to be happy in Him at all times, we would always do good and so our life will be the best.

And the second verse says that it is God's gift to reward us. I mean, we must work hard and toil, but it is GOd's gift to reward us. So we must never think tat it is our own effort that has borne fruit... always always always the credit must go to HIM and HIM only. And according to the verse, it is God's gift (that HE gives us), the satisfaction that comes from hard work. Well I am a testimony for that now. U see, this evening I had to learn lots of physics and maths.. And I really didn't have any courage to start with it. IT was so much and so hard. But I prayed. And I studied. By God's amazing grace, I completed it and I felt so satisfied and glad. Well I believe that God gifted me with satisfaction. I toiled, with His strength & He blessed me with satisfaction and I can say for sure that it is a great feeling.

Our Lord is not someone who makes us toil and then never rewards us. This verse clearly tells me that HE rewards me and HE rewards me with satisfaction & I feel good now, really good. Praise God!
