Putting God First in Exams

Too often I feel like I am digging into the content that will be (or hopefully) tested in exams. The allnighters we pull, the stress we are being put through, sometimes I question myself, if I were concentrating and looking into God, will I be wasting some precious last minute studying time?

Quantum physics is definitely not my favourite, especially when the class has come to a consensus that the professor has done a horrible job teaching and also a horrible job administering the course. These horrible instructions has taken me to a point where I am honestly worrying about failing this course. As a Christian, what do I do?

Every time I took a break from studying, I took time to pray to God for His assistance. A song that comes to my mind when I am in trouble is R. Kelly’s “I look to you” sung by Whitney Houston.

I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
In you I can be strong

Who else do I look to during these really harsh situations. The Bible tells us:

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. — Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV 1984)

I kept on praying and praising God, rejoicing at His challenge He provided me, though honestly I was completely exhausted and felt physically down, I kept in mind this is a great trial for my faith, and to testify that I put my faith in Him. Then the exam came. I opened the exam booklet. Cr**… SOOO hard…

I did the questions I knew off my mind and I kept on praying. Amazingly, I was able to derive two questions I was not expecting I could do perfectly, because I know what goal I have to reach at the end of the question. I put my faith in Him until the very end of the exam when the papers were collected. Something as simple as that, God will answer. Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, are you turning to Christ even in the process of a huge burden or trial? If you do, you may witness Him working in you and working with you on your struggles!

God Bless!

  1. Satan offers the liberty that you can abandon prayer and worthless attention to a silent god. Through Satan is the keys of knowledge and abundant power. If you had focus as Satan can provide you would be capable of anything, passing any exam.

  2. Luke 4:5-8
    5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
    6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
    7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
    8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

    What you say is false, our allegiance is to God and we fully submit to him who rules over all.

    Psalm 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

    Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

    Satan is limited in power only as much God allows him. God has authority over Satan.

    Joshua 24:15 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

    Henry Jiang and I serve the King of Kings, And LORD of LORDS. @satanicviews repent and submit yourself to God only! His love, power, authority is the absolute greatest.

    Revelation 19:15-16
    15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

    16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords

    • Amen My Brother! Praise the Lord!!!! His Kingdom Come! His Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven! We walk with a loving God who existed before all things, created us and who will reign forever! Matthew 25:41 tells us, “”Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”. There will be a time when Satan will be sent to hell to suffer and burn in this eternal fire along with his agents. @satanicviews, in the name of the Jesus, repent your sins and turn to the one who is Holy! For His blood will drive away all evil!

      Glory to God!
