“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight”.-PROVERBS 3:5,6

Jon is a student from a known school in Manila. In his life a college student, he never complains about his problems despite of struggles he experiencing with his terror professors. One day, one of his classmates called him ‘saint’ because he never use cheats or even copy answers from his seatmates during exams. Because of that, he often gets low scores, although, he never showed any frustrations and stress on his expressions-not even once. But then, he still finished the semester without any failing grades.

He may not intelligent enough, but he knows that he carries the main ingredient of life- Faith. For him, faith is not like walking in the dark but acting on the promise of God’s word. He knows that the confidence he have is really faith.

We must know that the real struggle is often a matter of our will, wanting to be completely in control of our destiny instead of trusting in the promise of God, and doing what we know we are supposed to do.

We all want the blessing of God’s deliverance. But in takes the testing to help us know that God is there and that He keeps His word. Though, being what it is, we’d just as soon skip the challenge, we prefer deliverance without going through fire and blood.
