Monday, October 15, 2007 stand still! hi guys! this post is specially directed at the j2s, although i'm sure everyone can learn a lesson from it :) i know that a levels are coming up, and of course the stress is building up like crazy. and i can totally empathize, cos that's what's going on over here too. in a sudden exponential increase in work i'm finding myself behind in my work. to top it off, i'm having my first major tests of the year in a wk's time (my hols are the wk after that, but that's not the point of this post :p). when everyone around you is stressing out, you might wonder if it's ever possible to stay above all the frantic worrying. and there is. we have a higher and better way because of Jesus Christ. no longer do we have to eat bread in the sweat of our faces (Gen 3:19). God has given us the rest, and all that we have to "do" is to believe. Jesus has already gone before you and called you blessed. King David calls you the blessed man (Rom 4:7-8). "And blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is in the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit." - Jer 17:7-8 Here are some practical points that i found/find useful in studying for exams (or even just life in general). Some things are more specific, u may not feel led to do it, but anyway here goes: 1. Pray. Pray before you study, before every exam, even during the exam. Ask the Holy Spirit to show u the things to study, ask Him for His peace to guard your heart through the exam period. 2. Take your exam timetable (a copy of your entry proof, not the real one), and write, in big bold (maybe red) letters something along the lines of "Jesus has paid it all" or "Jesus is my victory" or "The battle is the Lord's". then stick it up somewhere so you see it everyday. 3. Compile a list of Scriptures that speak directly to your situation. Print them out in large print and stick them all over your room. read them everyday. or alternatively print out a list and read them every morning. keep the Word constantly in your heart. 4. Make good use of your teachers and friends. Teachers, no matter how bad they may be in class, are usually pretty good one-on-one. If they're not, find some of your friends who know the material and go over it with them. That's it for now i think. and one story that i really love is in 2 Chr 20, when 3 armies came up against King Jehoshaphat. I think the story is pretty self-explanatory, so if you ever have 2 minutes to spare, go to that chapter and read through the story, and see how God delivered King Jehoshaphat without him even having to lift a finger. cheers, and really looking forward to seeing you guys soon! :D kenneth
