The other day a friend said: 'God's not surprised by the situation!' So true. What totally surprises/ panics us, does not phase Him at all. He is sovereign and He is in control. He also promises to work all things together for good. So what may look like a terrible situation has someone all powerful working good into it! Reason no. 454 :)

'Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.'
 Psalm 84:10-11

The Psalms are great, filled with truth and written by people who have seen something of the King that overflows into words. The authors knew who their God was and knew what that meant for them as his chosen people. That's where I want to be! Reason no. 453 :)

I'm thankful for the University library:  a place full of resources that are free for me to access. I love sitting in the older sections and sitting by the window - a great place to get some revision done! Reason no. 452 :)

Today my exam is on fluency: stammering. This morning as I'm reading about Moses, I'm reminded that Moses has a speech problem - possibly a stammer! God uses him to set the Israelites free from the yoke of the Egyptians. Moses who would have discounted himself from talking to Pharaoh and speaking on behalf of God, is God's instrument. God uses Moses in his weakness and in his fear of speaking to bring God's freedom! God doesn't remove the stammer before using Him, He uses Moses just as he is. Reason no. 450 :)

Exam season is here. Tomorrow I have my first exam. Thank you God that You are with me and I don't need to worry about it. Thank you that regardless of how the exam goes Your love for me is HUGE and Your plans for my life are not affected by my results! Reason no. 449 :)

Hearing stories of what God is doing around the world is so encouraging...from Ukraine to Islamic nations. Church is so important for His mission and we get to be a part of it! Reason no. 448 :)
