My Day
21 km really kills. 2 days ago I was on off. My muscles did not really hurt that badly unexpectedly. Luckily, I did "some" cool down. Erm, some.
All of the sudden, something happened to my left foot, right after I finish my driving practical lesson. I could not walk. As long as I stand, I felt an intense, sharp pain in my outer left foot and every single step that I took, it hurts badly. The longest distance I can ever walk is probably 20m? Then I had to stop and rest. Not that I wanted to, once the pain reaches its threshold, my left foot stopped functioning for a few seconds. It carried on throughout for Tuesday.
This morning, I tried to walk again. Still painful but not as bad as Monday & Tuesday. Then, a crazy thought came into my mind as I was on the running rack, "Why not I try just one round?" I did, and before I could complete 100m, I limped and limped. I did not move much since. Thus, could not gauge how bad my foot is today. As for now, I still limp as I walk. I have not pray for recovery though because this pain just came all of the sudden. There may be a purpose to it. Till it is revealed, I shall wait patiently. You must be thinking, "He is crazy!"
I known of a close friend during this tough period of my. He was always there with me but I was never there with Him. When I am happy, He jumped for joy with me. When I am sad, He cried for me and comforts me. Whatever I do, He is always there. But sadly, I did not reciprocate His love for me. He is the one that Jesus Christ sent to me before Jesus himself left this Earth. He is my bestest of best friend, named, "Holy Spirit".
I am beginning to feel more of His presence, feeling Him, hearing Him, seeing His works in my life and a lot more! There is something that I will like to share to all of you that He did in my life. Today, as I was reading the bible, the book of Matthew, Chapter 17, Verse 10-13:
The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"
Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
Immediately, I asked myself this, "Haven't I seen it somewhere in the bible that mentions John the Baptist is Elijah? So is John the Baptist Elijah?" At this point of time, I was pondering whether if I should flip the Bible to search for this confirmation verse. However, for Pete's sake, the Bible is full of knowledge, how am I suppose to find? I was deciding to give up searching.
Then, something in me urges me to continue searching. I resisted but gave in, in the end. Thus, I asked, "Oh Holy Spirit, show it to me."
The next thing I know, my left hand flipped to this page, under the Book of Matthew, Chapter 11, verse 11-15:
I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He who has ears, let him hear
My conclusion after the Holy Spirit revealed to me is John the Baptist is Elijah.
Immediately, I felt a sense of security and joy and I praised and thanked the Holy Spirit for revealing to me. Thank God. =]
