I woke up early today to sort out all my work responsibilities including my finances. I come to a reflection that no matter how hard you try to take control and organise things for yourself, there are things that could sometimes get in the way and may put you to a situation that may be uncontrollable.
Since the bank holiday weekend that started on Friday, the 18th of April 2025, I have been having this dental pain. My second lower gum started to swell up. It was difficult to chew. I have to chew all my food to the left side to avoid the pain that I would experience on the right. Previously, I was fond of dental flossing. I was doing it wrong. I was 'sawing' the between of my gums, did not realise the effect it would have on me. I never thought dental floss would ruin my gum. I never had problems with my teeth. I was so dentally religious in brushing and making sure that my teeth were always alright. Then, this happened.
We are all at times wanting to make all things organise and making sure that we are always in control of the things around us. So when troubles come, we know what to do. However, there are things that are outside our control. We cannot even influence or have an affect on them. When we tend to lose the grip, we felt chaotic or out of control. The Bible said in Philippians 4 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus. Chaos starts when we lose our peace of God, and rely on our capabilities. The Word of God is true - that the only peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. Let that peace of God stay in us - it will guard our hearts and our minds. There is no place to worry or fret. I am now surrendering to God everything I am worried about and all my concerns and circumstances. In Romans 10 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
I know the Lord will never put me to shame. Right before this journal writing, my shift scheduler called and spoke to me. She gave me information for this Saturday and booked me down for it. I believe that all my availabilities will be fulfilled this week!
Miracles of God do happen everyday, we just have all to sit down and reflect on it. :)
