WOWEE!! God is amazing! And to think I started to question His faithfulness..
It was yesterday. A saturday morning. A saturday which we were going to have an outing at the Botanical Gardens. A few of us went down early to prepare for the game which we were going to play. We reached around 11:30am and started preparing. Soon more helpers started coming and by 1pm, all 9 of us coordinators had arrived and known what we were supposed to do later. Then, it started to drizzle..
I have to admit, I panicked. I was so worried about the programme, how all of us would have to stay in the pavilions; how all our preparation would go down the drain. Then I remembered: God.
Immediately, I sat down and prayed. I prayed that God would hold back the rain, blow the clouds away or something. After the prayer, it was like a song I remember:
[ But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining.. ]
The drizzle eventually turned into a downpour and we were left to think of a backup plan. At that point in time, I questioned in my heart: Did God hear my prayer? Why is this happening?
Then He answered me, through the next line of the same song:
[ As the thunder roars, I barely hear You whisper through the rain: "I'm with you.." ]
If not for the heavy downpour, the rain would not stop so quickly and by the time the rest of the Youth group came, it would still be raining. God sped up the process so it would end quickly. Praise the Lord!
Common test week starts tomorrow. All I can say is: I'll reap what I sow. May God be with everyone who is having their tests too..
