God's Grace

I am still a bit shaken right now.

Barely 20 minutes ago, while I was on my way to work, our bus got held-up. I was not completely aware of the suroundings that time; half of me was sleepy, and the other half was busy daydreaming about the day ahead. Suddenly, 6 men stood up all at once and started making noice. I couldn't quite decipher what they were saying, but when I saw the small pocketknife, no words were needed.

There was one hold-upper beside me, for reasons I do not know, he reached for the man in front of me instead. He was pointing the knife at the guy, asking for his cellphone. At this time, I was already shaking with fear, silently calling out for God's help. I was almost reaching for my phone and camers, ready to give them up for my safety.

But God was in control. Less than ten seconds after they stood up, they all went down the bus. I was not touched, I was saved.

I cried when it was over. I can't help but be overwhelmed with God's presence and power over my life. At this low point in my life I was somehow losing faith, thinking that my life is going nowhere. But today, He showed me that He is still in control.

And to you God I lift up my life. Thank you.
