2 Samuel 1:14
What a day! I decided to dow my blog ALL over again! I think its really a significant moment now that I can start everything again! Well, I was on the bus and asked God which book i should read. Amazing thing was I recceived the word Samuel. Cool! I checked with the Holy Spirit and it was confirmed that I was to read the book of Samuel after I flip to my day's devotion.:) Isn't that cool? hahas, I think while all the world may despise me, or persecute me for making my STAND in Christ, I decided that nope. no more being pushedover. I'm gonna stand for Christ no matter come what may! School, oh my! I think I have the maddest GP teacher.. for goodness sake, she is nice, but does'nt it occur to her that we, students, are also HUMANS, and we also have our lives to lead?? Can't ALL teachers just be compassionate and just like spare us from the tons of homeworks? hahas, oh boi.
ITS OK, ITS OKAY. I Shall ATTACK it!
Think I can't? hey c'mon. PPl out there, get a life man! Life is abt attacking and not wasting it! I'd love to sleep and rest too, but no! that's not gonna happen. I hate it when ppl waste their llives away.. might as well give me your time so I can use it for a greater cause. hahas, I'm stating a fact.
Oh alright, still can't get over the shooting star incident, I REALLY SAW THE SHOOTING STAR! hahas, whatever the case, hahs, I know that I saw it, unless what I saw was buzz lighter shooting past my eyes.
literature test was'nt difficult, but yeah, it was'nt easy too. What I can conclude is..........
actually, I also don't know. hahs, whatever it is, i just trust it into God's hand.. You know you can NEVER go wrong when you live it into God's hand. hahas, One thing I really learnt Alot, is to trust in God, like what Ivan said, if you wanna be a christian, might as well be the best one. MAKES MUCH SENSE. does it mean $$??
hahas, oh boi. ONLY INTELLECTUAL, and smart ppl, with gd sense of humour like "ehem- ME" can understand my jokes! whadever, I've still much more to go!
School was boring, but God's words never fail to SURPRISE! me.
Back to focus, I was reading the book of Samuel and i came to this verse of chapter 1, and I was really impacted by it. I mean, its wisdom I got from here. it may not appear to be some kind of *WAH verse, but to me, it really meant a lot, especially to ppl like me.
the verse went like : 14 David asked him, "Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"
SIMPLE. but it pierced my heart.
Let me give you a brief introduction. The beginning of 2 samuel is the part where describes how king Saul died, perhaps, many ppl- including me, like to take matters into our own hands. i learnt a really important lesson from the word of GOD>
the story goes like this, there was a amalekite, who happened to pass king saul who happened to be strucked down by a spear, and looked closed to his death. This man, thinking he was kind, came before king saul and asked if he could do anything for him, before he died. King saul, being in pain, told the man to end his life. the stupid man, killed king saul, and after so, returned to report his death to David who was to become the next king. When king David learnt about saul's death, he and his ppl mourned with him for sometime, when he recovered from mourning, he asked the man who he was, and the man was killed after David said : "Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?". My my, I got a shock when I saw this.
Why? you may ask, bcos, the man, "was trying to be kind" but got his just rewards for killing God's anointed. Here's what I learnt :
1. no matter how bad the person may be, if he's God's anointed, even if he isn't, Never ever take the risk to lay hands on that person, God will always seek revenge. That means, in my case, I just got to trust God and move in the Spirit, not taking things into my own hands, cos I'm not god.
2. I got to be wise with what I do, I must never take the glory for myself. Look, the man probably was expecting some kind of reward for removing Saul, for David. But this has really taught me to ALWAYS remember that God looks at the heart and not just surface.
Oh alright, I still have SO MANY assignments to complete!!! hallelujah! I'm going off! SAYONARA!!
