Last week,before I posted my previous entry of this blog..I was in the Jacob's trouble..Jacob's trouble is an emotional and spiritual fight or trouble inside with the Lord..I really had a fight with the Lord about the things that I wish and wanted to have in a day without considering His decision whether He allows it or not.
I voiced out all my innermost ill-feelings to the Lord,why He doesn't give me this and that,and why He never permitted me to fly out of the country that soon..and so many why's ? I'm practically sure,everyone has gone to that point that you question God about the unexpected event in life contrary to what you desire to have and to happen.
Till the day realized me that I should wait and understand God's purpose why He is delaying His promise to me...well,that experienced..I guess just developing my patience and more patience,without knowing that it is one of the best virtue of being a Christian.."Patience".herewith is a nice anecdote that I've got from my roommate,posted on our room's wall..which I believe would ask us what if God?????
What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?
What if God decided to stop Leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?
What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the Rain?
What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?
What if God took away the Bible tomorrow because we would not read it today?
What if God took away His message because we failed to listen to the messenger?
What if God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin.
What if the door of the church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?
What if God stopped loving us and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?
What if God wouldn't not hear us today because we would not listen to Him?
What if God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?
What if God met our needs the way we give Him our lives?

We often question God's plans for us when we're disappointed and we let bitterness rule our hearts. It also happened to me once and I couldn't accept things the way they should be. Sakit jud ako Buot.
There are also times when God seems to punish us. But just like parents, God also had to raise His hands upon us for us to realize things we failed to recognize.
In life, lessons keep repeating until learned. Curses keep on hitting upon us until our hearts become open to accept His blessings. God works we often find difficult to understand. Sometimes, it just had to hurt so bad.
But everything that God has done to our lives, blessings or curse, they are part of His plans and His great love for us. Everything has its own reason.
May God help us in our own struggles. Godbless. I like your blog. n___n Nkk-inspire.
trusting God is very important. but the way i see it, i can still see the importance of God in your life.
sometimes, there are lessons that we need to learn only by waiting.
God is preparing something. when all hope is gone, faith enters.
Thanks Sadako and dong Ho: you have inspired me this day which I am eventually in the midst of the battle,confronting God about His plans for me...
always my pleasure to be of help eric.
