171105

verses read: Acts 23:23-53, Proverbs 10:19
prayer: 30 minutes

Paul is being transferred under a heavily armed guard to Caesarea. You can't tell by reading the Bible, but it is about 100km from Jerusalem. And it sounds like the made the journey in 2 days (or slightly more).

Would be a long day for me today. Going to take a break from topology to attempt the philosophy past year papers. If I can do most of them, then I think my mind would be a lot more at ease. Then there is carolling practice tonight. Well, long day, and tomorrow, my first paper. Thank God actually, I thought my paper was at night! Then my mom asked me what time the paper was, and I said at night, then I remembered that they don't have night papers on Friday... so I went to double check and realised that I had made a huge error!

God is very faithful. Could have ended up missing that paper. And I know the prayers that I made will be answered, whether or not they are favourable. But at the end of it all, God has some other plan. Yet, I always seem to falter; laid another brick yesterday. Wonder how big this barrier is going to be before I stop laying them. Strength, cannot rely on my own strength. Need God's help to get through life.

When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. - Proverbs 10:19
