"Father, I receive Your grace."
Already 20 minutes late, I was concerned about taking the bus, and waiting another 10 minutes, I was really concerned about taking the bus...but God assured me that He is faithful and He will take me through.
"Father, I receive Your grace."
On the bus, my friend texted me and briefly shares of a semi-traumatic experience she had, hence requesting that I take over her for Scripture Reading. Having a passion to preach and yet a concerned heart, I felt distressed yet excited that God gave me yet another opportunity to preach, to declare Jesus. That said, the traffic conjestion at Stevens Road was quite slow, and I was concerned about making it to school on time.
"Father, I receive Your grace."
At school, my adrenaline rose. I started to notice the demands placed upon me, to give a message not too long but not to generic, to not keep the Saints in the haze, literally. The demands. And the Lord reminded me in the midst of the demand to focus on His supply, His grace. Then later on as I prepared myself to share, my friend was already on the stage signalling that she's okay. Which means I need not share today.
"Father, I receive Your grace."
Oral presentation, we were given a temporal reprieve and were allowed to rehearse the slides. Clash of styles gave me temporal volcano eruptions, but nonetheless remained calm. Thank God for His grace. The day ended early; thank God for His grace! On the bus, though, my mind started to go astray. I saw a whole entourage of high school girls and started to have dirty, lustful thoughts. What should I do in this moment? Feel guilty for being "unsaved" by my sin?
"Father, I receive Your grace."
"Lord, this is horrible lust! Help me!" And by grace, the Lord closed my eyes to keep them focused not on the temptation, which the Bible mentions to flee, but on the name of Jesus. There is no other name, but the name of Jesus. Back home, as I replenish the Daily Verses database, I have trouble not reusing what I have shared before, I need help.
"Father, I receive Your grace."
And the day ends peacefully.
"Father, I receive Your grace."
