When I am down

Yes, Christians do experience "down" in their spiritual lives. Just as Sarah, the Lord had said that Abraham would be a father of many, yet she did not pregnant until 90 years old something. When the Lord said it once again, she laughed. It was hard to keep on when the Lord promised you something, yet you seems to never see its shadow.

My calculator had been stolen. Yet, the Lord reassured me that my calculator would be returned and I need not to buy a new one. Few weeks passed by, nothing happened. During the few weeks, I was like being insulted of my faith and some make fun of the name of Christ and the Bible. I was upset and annoyed.

In prayer, I told the Lord that I could not continue on, He had to help me and encourage me. On 5/8, I read on a psalm that saying the Lord would avenge for those who keep His commandments and please Him. Just as the next day, those who did those terrible things to me were punished by teachers. Amazing and Halleluyah.

As one more week went by, nothing happened too. I was discouraged because as a Science Class student, calculator is just like how a driver needs a car. Again, I told the Lord that I needed His encouragement and help. This time, a brother of mine, whom had not been for our youth service a long time, told me that he would be joining the youth worship that week on the next day. I could not believe it. I had been praying for him and encouraging as well as persuading him to go, but he kept on refusing me. But when the time that the Lord had chosen come, you just gotta believe it, even it seems to be impossible.

Whenever one is down and seeks God's help, the Lord will surely be with him and encourage him, if he is willing to listen to the Lord and offer his life to the Almighty One. Halleluyah!!!!
