Recently I had my final exams and was really praying to God, asking for help for the topics I should be focusing on. Amazingly, He impressed on my heart the right things to study and everything that I had focused on for the first two papers came out!
One hurdle down, but I still had to prepare for another tough subject the next day. I planned to wake up in the middle of the night to continue studying, only to find myself waking up the next day! That morning, I was supposed to coordinate Campus Revo and was hesitant to go because I felt really under-prepared for that paper. However, I made it a point to go because I had informed people about it. Disappointingly, no one turned up!
However, I sensed God asking me to start praying and I obeyed. The Holy Spirit reminded me that when we honour God, He will honour us back. Peace fell upon my heart. I managed to study a little before going into the exam hall, and surprisingly, a question which I studied with that brief time actually came out! I did my best for the paper and let God do the rest.
While waiting for the results to be out, I felt God asking me if I would still hold on to Him if I failed or if I did not achieve my expectations. Initially I was afraid to answer His question but I knew that I should be putting God first. It was hard but then I surrendered to Him and held on to my faith, no matter what may happen next. Two days later, I found out that I was the top student in my class. Praise the Lord! When we surrender to Him first, He opens up the way for us!
Blessings, kaixin =)
