Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him

Most of us assert ourselves by our own human effort and capacity to take control over situations as a means to have control. When a situation is beyond our control, getting no where, not going the way we want it to go, some tend to let go of God.

Job had made up his mind even if he did not know nor understand why God would permit him to go through so much pain and suffering, that he will still trust Him. Despite the anguish of his soul and being mentally perplexed, he was determined not to give up his faith in God. Job understood there was absolutely nothing he could do to make a difference to change anything. But to remain faithful to God and resting in Him.

Daniel, shadrach, meshach and abednego rather die than to sin against God. They would rather die than to worship the golden image of king Nebuchadnezzar. Even if God wouldn’t save them, they still would not do it. They would cling to their faith in God even if it means to die for it.

This is the righteousness of God and faith, which spiritually empowers us to live supernaturally righteous in accordance to His word. Having the peace, confidence and boldness in times of storm. Without this what we call faith today is in vain. And a righteousness of filthy rags not being the righteousness of God. But our own self righteousness.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
