I have been reading through the end of Old Testament with my accountability partner in Spain, Emily. We started during the end of February by divine intervention. (He answered my prayers!) It is our last week in Spain and we are finishing up the last two books of Zechariah & Malachi. God has been blessing us so much with our reading and our time of sharing. We get so amazed that God would even align our personal struggles from home to be alike so we can really be accountable to one another. We get even more amazed at how much our readings have been revealing our sins and relating so clearly to our lives. I love the feeling of being defeated by the Word.
To give you an example of how funnily perfect God is and how unperfect we are.. Emily & I decided to read the OT and I suggested we go through the minor prophets, since we had limited time. Emily mentioned that she loved the name Ezekiel and how she wanted to name her son that, but had never read the book (haha). So we decided to just start from Ezekiel then and go through Daniel and then to the minor prophets. You know.. just for the heck of it. After finishing Ezekiel and Daniel, Emily got an email from her campus ministry (Cornerstone Fellowship) for their upcoming leadership training. In it, they gave a schedule of the material they will be covering before the year starts with a weekly reading.
Guess what books they were going through...?? Take a WILD guess...
(Yeaup. Unbelievably true..) Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. From the beginning to the end of our reading for the semester. Now... waiiiiit a minute... Godddddd~!!! Hahahahahaha.. you are so silly! Man, my mouth dropped when she told me.. we felt so ggpwn3d. We literally chose to do that because of Emily's future baby named, Ezekiel. HAHA. But he still came through and confirmed that HE MAKES ALL THINGS GOOD. How is it that we are also perfectly ending the semester in this last week with Malachi...
Even in our imperfections, he is God.
God works in funny and interesting ways..
