GOD IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE

MY GOD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD; MY GOD REMEMBERS MY PRAYER AND LIFTS ME UP!

Isaiah 46:4 - I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

What a powerful promise! I first came across this verse when I was searching for something that I could hold on to, a promise that would carry me through my exam period where after the Easter break, we had 3-4 tests and assignments due. And God showed me that He would indeed rescue me.

I thought that was it. Done deal, settled.

HIS LOVE EXTENDS BEYOND WHAT WE IMAGINE!

Entering planetuni camp, I was struck with sickness. I believe it was due to an excessive overdose of timtams, chocolate and coffee, combined with my lack of fruits. Luckily, i thought, i had packed Panadol and Spirulina in my bag.

It was no use. I was desperate for healing. I prayed, I prayed, I took my pills and prayed more. But no. I wouldn't get healed. I couldn't sleep during the first night, and came the next morning with a throbbing headache, bad cough, runny nose and a really bad mood. But God is great! He sustained me throughout the camp!

I was wondering why I didn't get healed entirely. Was it because of my faith, or lack thereof? But no ... God wanted to show me that His promises are true, that He is faithful through and through. I sit at my desk and type, yea, He has sustained and carried me through my infirmity, through my pain, through my suffering, and delivered me from the hands of the evil one into Jesus's grace and mercy!

I wait eagerly for God to reveal more of that verse to me.

I know God was referring to that verse throughout camp, because on the last day a song came into my head - the Hillsongs "Who compares to You(Magnificent)" kept playing in my head. And I thought, wow, what a nice praise to offer unto God. But when I returned to Isaiah 46:4 , there it was! The subsequent verse said : "To whom will you compare Me or count Me equal? To whom will you liken Me that we may be compared?"

And I was dumbstruck with awe. I never read that verse for some reason, God had kept that hidden from me in order

to prove that He is faithful and true. WOW!!!!!!

And I shall leave you with this - We serve a risen God, who is Faithful and True, to His Word and Promises. Glory be to God forever and ever, AMEN!
