It's amazing how God moved this morning when He lead me to the library. I have been wrestling with my term paper topics for the past weeks and until this morning, I still do not have a topic for Old Testament introduction. The other night though, Dr.Chai thought my term paper topic in her class (Biblical Theology of Missions) is fine, and that is "PROPHECY: A fingerprint of the Holy Spirit in Missions". I was still not sure with this topic though. My topic in Cross Cultural Communication with Dr. Barb has been confirmed earlier because of our worldview presentations, where my topic was Myanmar Lens.
Last night, my heart was really so heavy because of the news I was receiving about the ministry in Bicol. I was crying to God about certain things and as I was praying, God led me to Jeremiah 20. I was having the same complains with the prophet. I said I don't want to teach and serve there anymore because they are so hard-headed ppl. But then, just like Jeremiah, I realized, it is God who is in control. His Word is like fire in my heart and flowing through my bones that just want to burst out!
Back to the library surprise from God... When I walked down to the underground of the library, I did not have any plan where to go. It's a room of over 60,000 books. I just asked unknowingly above me with a whisper: "Lord, where do you want me to go.. Help me figure this out.. what's my topic?"
And then, the instruction popped out in my head:
"Go to 10th shelf.."
Then it was weird, I went there and asked again:
"Should it be the 10th left or right shelf?"
Then the instruction was:
"Turn left".
and then.....
BOOM!
I was just brought by God to the shelf of all the prophetic books! I am not so familiar with the sections of the library yet so I had no idea that that shelf was it. I usually go for googlebooks before ^^.
It was a confirmation from God that I can surely write about Prophecy for BTM and then for OT, any topic about the prophets.
God is amazing. He gives detailed instruction whenever needed and whenever He wants to.
