When you stumble, it doesn't mean you'll stay there forever. From the movie, X-Men
When you think that your world is in shambles, get up and grow. Know that the Lord upholds those who humble themselves and admit that they've failed.
There is someone in the bible who is regarded as one of the hall of famers of his age. I'm talking about Abraham. You know the story, not the son side but the lying part. He did lie not just once. And yet God used him to be a father of nations. What grace it is.
This was drafted by me years ago and I just want to continue writing on it. It is easy to get to the flow of where you are. To be influenced by other people, well and good if it is for the better but it saddens me that I am easily influenced by the bad things happening around me.
After the hazing case that I was following, I found myself getting angry again at my government by allowing the Chief Justice to be ousted through a Quo Warranto process which is just a bait tried by the SolGen and the people who wants the power agreed to it and resulted to an ousted CJ which the case is in the house and some of the justices must have inhibited because they are part of the impeachment proceedings. But, despite of that, CJ Sereno was very calm and composed and was trusting God. But, how come, I cannot trust God at this moment? I was at the height of my emotions and was very much focused on what I wanted and not on what God wanted. My heart was not surrendered that is why I was very controlling of the situation but not with my emotions. I was very angry even of other people. Satan is just using people, they are not my enemies so I should stop complaining and just pray for this country.
Honestly, that is pretty hard for someone like me who really wants justice to prevail every time. I've always wanted to be a lawyer to bring about justice and I've always wanted to be a referee in a basketball game to show how to have fair plays. But, I realized that my God is a Just God and I am nothing compared to Him as He sees the big picture. Maybe I cannot see now how it will turn out but He does.
This week, after sinning, I appreciated God's grace. That He didn't struck me right there and then. That God allowed me still to get back up. God humbled me and showed me my pride. And now, I wanted to just surrender to His will and trust His work in my life and in our country.
God was always and will always be on time in rebuking me. I was studying the book of 1 Peter and I was surprised to see honoring authorities in 1 Peter 2:13-25. I cannot ignore God's nudge in my heart to say sorry to our students for not being a good example in social media. That we must live godly lives for others to see Jesus in us despite the persecutions and the pains that we are experiencing because what is it to me if I am persecuted because of the wrong that I did.
1 Peter 4:19 "Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right."
Thank You God that You are in control and that You are here with me. Thank You that You never fail and that You love me and You like me. Thank You God. Amen.
