Rich library of resources

I’ve made an amazing discovery of a rich library of resources on Christian text – theological, biblical exegesis and criticism etc from Google Books. Some of the books, you can download the entire book in PDF! Got a few good books and some very old, dated to 1850s!

Prayer for miracle

God must have a wicked sense of humour! I prayed for miracle yesterday, instead He sent hell of a situation which now reflecting back, a wicked opportunity for a miracle! Ok ok, this is highly biblical, so stay with me….. The wedding Jesus attended for his first miracle, instead of walking into the situation to perform his first miracle, he saw a problem for an opportunity to perform a miracle. Second, as God, He knew that would be a storm when he stepped on the boat, and He did, and went to sleep; soon a storm comes (oh no, we’re in trouble….) and Jesus performed a miracle to calm the storm! Wow. He is so cool, isn’t He?

So often, i realised, with our limited, and often with an upside down view of God’s deliverance and miracle, God doesn’t deliver a miracle, but He created an opportunity for one. When we are in trouble, praise God for it is time for miracle, but more important, it is a time to exercise our faith. Even when all the time these trouble comes because of our shortfalls, sins, and mischief; my God never fails, for with such, an opportunity for miracle, the real miracle is not God rectifying those problems but it is through such times, our characters are transformed slowly but surely to be more like His Son – Jesus.

Well instead of a miracle, i got an opportunity for God to perform a miracle. (My mind would say…. trouble, a letter from the solicitor). Nevertheless i will trust Him. It is not how big my faith is, but the length of my faith, to continue to trust Him even in tough times.
