Be Still :)

Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

A year ago when I was still in college, I had a lot of worries in my subjects like, "Will I be able to pass these subjects?", "Will I be able to graduate this year?". During that time I was on my 6th year in college, yes, I've been in college for 6 years, that's why I can't stop thinking whether I'll graduate or not. I took up Accountancy for college, which is actually a 5-year course. On my 6th year, I failed 2 subjects during the first semester, which is why I have to retake them for the next semester. I remember crying inside a cubicle in our school's comfort room after taking our first quiz, because even though I retook those subjects, I still find them difficult, very difficult. I cried in there for I don't know how long, thinking that I might retake the same subjects again for the next semester. I was worried that I might not be able to graduate. When I calmed down, I decided not to entertain such thoughts anymore. I talked to God, telling Him that I was sorry for having such doubts and worries. I told Him that despite having those doubts, I wanted to believe and trust in Him that he'll get me through those difficult times. Before sleeping that night, I did my devotion. Here's what God has revealed to me during my devotion, "The Lord said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them?" (Numbers 14:11). That hit me. The Lord wants me to just trust Him, in whatever He is doing my life despite what I'm seeing, feeling, or hearing. Then, I asked myself, "Why do I keep on refusing to believe in God every time something bad happens or something doesn't happen the way I want it to?". I prayed, I told Him everything I want to say, what I really feel. I was very thankful and am still thankful to God for reminding me that time that if He fulfilled His promises to me before,  He will still fulfill His promises to me today, and for the days to come. So I did, I trusted Him, believed in Him despite receiving quiz grades below the passing grade. I chose to believe in Him, for God knows what He is doing and His ways are higher than ours. I chose to trust Him instead of being worried because I know that God keeps His promises, and has not failed me, not even once. Guess what, I passed my subjects during that semester and was able to graduate that year. Sometimes we just need to be still during a storm, and by still, I mean, believing and trusting God. I know it's hard sometimes to trust in Him because we are focusing on wrong things, what you need to do is to just shift your focus on God alone. God will never leave you nor forsake you. He loves you so much that He will leave the 99 just to find that one missing. God loves you, my friend!
