Today, I’m reminded of how powerful God is.
I’ve stumbled across a lot of verses today but for the past few months, there’s this verse, rather, a chapter in the book of Psalm that’s been constantly helping me get through all the trials and obstacles life has been throwing at my face.
Some of you know, well, I think almost all the people who read my blog know that I’ve lost someone so important to me at the start of 2011 and for numerous times now, I realized that everything has made me stronger. At the start of 2011, I was a weak and fragile little girl - I was helpless and I had a lot of insecurities. Clearly, my life online is different from the life I had offline. Though, I wasn’t sugar-coating anything here in this blog but if you knew me in real life, you’d see the difference. I’m not always in my happy self - I get down and depressed, too. And for the past months since January, I’ve been on this roller coaster ride full of mixed emotions.
Psalm 46. This chapter never fails to remind me of how powerful God is - that no matter how many trials, obstacles or deaths attack me, they can’t and will never be able to bring me down because I have God and he’s stronger and greater than any storm I will and I might face in the coming years.
The verse reminded me of how weak and fragile I was because I was depending on my own strength rather than relying on Jesus and trusting Him with all my heart. Honestly, I was never this passionate with God before and I never thought I’d come to this point. I’m actually glad because I’ve been having a lot of realizations since I became active in church again. I know, this will come off as a shock to some of you but do you know how it feels to be on fire and high with God? It feels great. Really, it does feel great.
And there has been a lot of changes in my life now. Less cursing, less bad thoughts - although I know change can’t be overnight and that there will be some instances where bad things come out of my mouth but I believe that as I grow with Him, I’ll turn into a better person.
I can’t believe I actually teared up a bit during my personal devotion. Because truly, God really is the strength of my heart. Forever indeed. ♡
Good morning, lovelies! TAsk me anything! I’d love to talk later when my classes are done. :)
