Miracles

God works so many miracles and I’ve been really blessed to experience so many such miracles in the short time I’ve known my Lord Jesus Christ. I’m going to share a few today.

1. Once, kor asked me if I knew who the 2 people who did not experience physical death in the Old Testament were. He said one could be found in the Book of Genesis, the other in the Book of Kings. I knew the one in Genesis-Enoch. He was taken away by the Lord because he was walking so closely with God. The other one, I didn’t know. So one day, after I did my Quiet Time (basically time set aside for God, to read God’s Word and to pray), I jokingly asked God who the 2^nd person was and to reveal the answer to me when I flipped the Bible. In my mind I was actually prepared to flip the Bible like around more than 5 times because I didn’t think it would be so easy to spot. Then, the first time I flipped, the page opened at the Book of Samuel. It wasn’t in Samuel so I just flipped the Bible one more time (I admit I don’t know the Bible very well so I didn’t know if Kings came before or after Samuel). Guess what? The page opened at 2 Kings. And continue guessing. Okay I think you know it already. There, on that very page, I saw the words “Elijah Taken Up to Heaven”. WHOA!!! Honestly, I was VERY shocked. Stunned. At a loss for words. I didn’t expect the answer to come so easily. To cut the long story short, I calculated the probability of arriving at that page. There is 1 Kings and 2 Kings (two books). In total, there are 48 pages in Kings. Do the Math, and you get 1/48, or slightly higher than 2% chance of getting that particular page. And this figure has not taken into account the other Books in Old Testament. There are 714 pages in Old Testament. If you factor that in, the probability would be like 0.00_% or even less! WHOA. Praise the Lord =D

2. Just today, Sunday 8 October 2006, I missed 156 by approximately 30seconds. I was stoning at the bus stop because I was tired from trying to catch the bus from the other side of the overhead bridge. Around 10 minutes later, I said a short prayer. I told God I didn’t want to be late for service after not being able to go for 2 weeks (and admitted it's my fault for not leaving few minutes earlier). Guess what? 156 arrived when I said ‘Amen’. WHOA. Since when did the waiting time for 156 drop to 10 minutes huh? Ahaha. So i managed to arrive at church on time. Praise the Lord =D

3. This one I think it can be considered as a miracle also. The PSI on Saturday night reached 150 right? And it dropped to like 27 on Sunday morning. WHOA. News just reported that there happens to be a strong wind blowing it away and that the haze could come back again tomorrow. Hmms. Seems like Divine Intervention to me! Ahaha. God give clear skies so that people travel to and from church without being exposed to too much haze ; )

I haven't finished [j-reflections: septober 2006] yet okay? ahaha. i just felt the need to share the miracles; and i'm getting lazy to type the random thoughts out. but i'll still do that la =P
