For better or for worse.

Pro 4:18  But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 

Meanwhile... 

2Ti 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 

Jer 17:14  Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. 

Won by Love

Who on earth who give his life as a ransom for justice to those who deal treacherously to him?

Rom 5:8-10:

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."

Rom 9:16 "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy."

Rom 9:15  For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Should I not rejoice over this doctrine of God's sovereignty? If salvation is contingent upon myself and my own will, where would I end up? How can I say I am at my free will and not taken captive at the will of Satan when for so many times the LORD had innumerously strived within my heart yet I persisted to sin stubbornly! 

Blessed be the Sovereign God...

When everything falls apart, praise His Name;

When you have a broken heart, just lift your hands and sing;

When you feel you are all alone, praise His Name;

And you feel all hope is gone, just raise your hands and say:

Greater is He that sitteth in the throne of Heaven.

"Though He slays me, yet will I trust in Him"

(inspired and modified from "Praise His Name" by Jeff and Sheri Easter)

Identity Crisis.

In pastor's letter to me: "Just be as you are. Assume the disposition of a seeking sinner, fighting against his own sins, hypocrisies and pretences and desperately attempting to obtain the regeneration and the transformation of heart that Christ Yeshua alone can render unto him".

Dried up.

In daily need of fresh supply of God's Word and Spirit. 

Deu 32:2-3  My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God."

Tired.

Wherefore should a man complain for the punishment of his sins? Why art thou cast down O my soul? Hope thou in God! Be cheerful and joyful for the abundance of all things He had given thee!

Psa 106:46 "He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives."

I found favor in the eyes of my professors in topography anatomy, pharmacology, biochemistry, ID. Also amongst the people in the market, restaurants, and workers in the hostel. The LORD is very tenderly compassionate to me.

Monday morning.

16/5/2011.

Today no gen surg class - which supposedly planned to have colloq for us. This in turn gave me the opportunity to find the professor to do my biochemistry "otrabotka". This is the mercy of the LORD!
