Coincidence? I think not.

Okey, so my walk with God last year was absolutely, positively DRY.

Praise and worship didn’t really feel.. right. Praying felt like a burden.. And church just seemed like.. any other day. Basically, in a nutshell.. I was REALLY FAR FROM GOD.

So yes, I tried a whole lot of different things like.. joining bible classes, joining dispatch, joining lcd and stuff like that. But obviously, nothing changed. So i remember about.. a month ago? I was msn-ing with Jarrett & we kind of got to the topic of devotions and bible reading, and it was really great just talking about that with somebody. And yes, this may sound pretty corny, but it “inspired” me to want to read the bible even though my relationship with God was going downhill.

But obviously, after the conversation ended.. my mind drifted away and I forgot entirely about the conversation. But funny thing is.. one day, I grab my bible, and this “read your bible in a year” card drops right in front of me, and I immediately remembered. (Now, I don’t know if that was by coincidence or not, but im PRETTY sure it wasn’t).

So on that very same night, I started reading my bible again. And I never felt more closer to God than I do now, and its a great feeling.

So like.. a few days ago, I MADE A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT & FINISHED THE BOOK OF GENESIS. And for those who don’t know, the book of Genesis has 50 chapters in it. And on the very same night I completed all 50 chapters, something felt.. different. (Of course, other than feeling GREAT.. something was different) Something just prompted me to go to my little money box and check my cash.

And before I go any further, just so you guys know.. a month before I started reading my bible again.. I had finished up all my rm50 & rm100 dollar bills. I was only left with the small bills. So.. when I poured the bills out, I expected red notes and coins to drop out. And just when I thought that was it.. POOM.. this new, crisp RM50 dollar bill drops right on top of the red notes. THERE WAS NO WAY I HAD ANY BIG NOTES LEFT. NO-WAY. But fine, I didn’t think much about it.

Then YESTERDAY, I managed to complete a few chapters of Exodus. And the really weird thing is.. this morning.. my dad wakes up to fetch me to bible class, and for some reason, he hands me a RM10 dollar bill. And he NEVER GIVES ME RM10 on a normal sunday. So then.. I was like, “daddy.. i don’t need this.. O_O I already have money for offering” but he was like.. “its ok, just take it.” And ALL OF US SHOULD KNOW, ITS NOT NORMAL FOR A DAD TO JUST GIVE US MONEY FOR NO REASON.

So then, just an hour ago, I told my parents about the RM50 thing, and my mum was AMAZED.. So then, as I was talking and talking, I remembered my dad’s RM10 and for some reason, i went to my bible and I opened it to the last page I read, and to my amazement.. i STOPPED AT CHAPTER 10 OF EXODUS. 10!! And whatever you guys may call it.. coincidence or whatever.. I think not.

BUT.. lemme make it clear, its amazing whats happening, but i am NOT reading the bible to earn more cash.. and as far as bible reading is concerned, God doesn’t PAY US TO READ HIS WORD. I guess its just His way of pointing out to ME what READING THE BIBLE can really do and the sort of things He’s capable of and what He could do with my life.

God works in mysterious ways. And I am so glad im putting Him first again.

 

In my point of view, I guess.. no matter how far we stray, God’s always there to lead us back. Its only a matter of whether we want to follow Him back or not.
