Exams!

Exams are looming, and anxiety sets in. Cut-off points to pass, expectations to meet, scores to improve on. The prospect of entering the examination hall grips you like a fever, prompting you to study, to push yourself that extra mile.

Mental fatigue sets in, but you persevere, wading through, looking for the proverbial ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. And when you turn to the person next to you, and you see them diving intensely into their great pile of books, you will yourself to do the same.

It is so easy to give up. So easy to say “I can’t do this”. So easy to sigh and proclaim “I’m just not good enough”.

But we tend to forget, that when we give up, there is always someone who won’t. When we let go, there’s still someone who will hold on and pull you back up.

And that person is our Abba, Father.

From the very beginning, He has always been there, to hold us gently as He leads us and walks beside us. He’s not only present when things are going great, He’s also there when we go through all those ‘downs’.

If the God who named each star in the universe (which has about 3 to 7x10²² stars!) is also the God who knows the very number of hairs on your head, then surely He will never leave you nor forsake you. And think about it, if He spent time creating you in His image, then you must be worth a whole lot.

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Deuteronomy 31:8 [NIV]

So when you feel discouraged, and you feel like giving up, remember that God is always there for you, and that His promises stand through the ages. Look to Him, and you will never be disappointed. He loves you more than you could ever fathom.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:6-7 [NLT]

Face your exams with courage, giving all glory to the One who deserves it. Do your very best, sit back and let God take His rightful place in the driver’s seat.

God bless, and all the best! :)

Hope

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 41:20

Do you have any idea how powerful this verse is? There are many things we put our hopes in, with a self-assurance that it will not fail us. We put our hopes in our studies, career, certain people, maybe some of us, money. The norm believes that money is the license to fulfill your desires. Maybe to go on an expensive holiday, buy a brand new car, shopping, etc. In reality, it is true that money does enable us to have possessions others may not have, or perhaps a top-notch quality of something.

But the love of these things are only temporary. On the frank side, you will never be satisfied with what you have. These hopes are fallacious, they make you, and then break you.

But hope in the Almighty Creator, whose description is beyond explication, who created the heavens and the earth, is unfailing.

The ultimate unfailing love that we can ever have. A relationship that grows through intimacy and trust, that will fill your life with an acceleration of hope and love.

God bless you heaps!

KTT Soup Kitchen- October 9, 2010

It was late on a sleepy Saturday morning when a handful of young gentlemen made a somewhat surreptitious trek to the female living quarters. No, not what you think. They were loaning their strength to help carry trays of rice, peanuts, and sambal, as well as a huge pot of steaming hot mushroom soup, down to the Bintang Walk of our college. Earlier, the industrious ladies of the CF had been cooking through the night (and in some cases well into the morning) in order to produce the food now being transported to the Bintang Walk. The guys, on the other hand, had been carrying tables and chairs to the same location, getting everything ready for the big event.

It all started a couple of weeks before that, seeking the Holy Spirit during our morning prayer at Campus Revolution, when we sensed that God was showing us that we should have a soup kitchen, or a distribution of free meals. Taking time, manpower and budget allocation into consideration, we decided to cook free nasi lemak for the entire college that day. The idea was consolidated through several meetings and continuous prayer, and eventually took form as we prepared for the event during the week up to the 9th of October.

Now, the whole CF committee was mobilised to get everything ready. Tables were arranged, chairs were placed, servers took their stations beside the hot steaming food, and the rest of the workforce placed themselves to welcome the hungry guests.

The steady trickle of people began to build into a real crowd as afternoon approached. The small tables were quickly filled. Conversations started, jokes were exchanged, new friends were made. It was a great time of fellowship--a golden opportunity to share the love of God through a simple act of kindness.

The event ended after 2.30pm, and the tables and chairs were returned, the rubbish was packed up and promptly disposed of, and the excited team of dedicated KTTians gathered for a quick debriefing. We left with high spirits. It was our CF's first major event since we inherited the baton from our seniors. We prayed for lives to be blessed, and for the effects of our small act of kindness to snowball into something bigger in the lives of others. More than anything, we prayed for people to come to know the source of the true joy that resides in the heart of every true worshipper. May God bless KTT, and may we keep loving our college until it loves Jesus back! Amen and amen!
