Exam time....... it is time to praise the lord

Well..... this is not something which happened today. but its worth blogging.

may be it would be useful for MBBS students...this happened about 6-7 years back. When i was doing my undergraduation in Govt. Medical college Kottayam.

May be few of you might have heard of it from me.. but its worth hearing once more...coz all glory is to god...

it was ophthalmolgy exam time.

as a christian this was the year i started thinking as a practical christian..means i started taking practical decisions for god..one of which was not to cheat in an exam. to put it in black and white, it is easy. but to practise it was extremely difficult bcs, internal medicine exams were so structured. there was a 10 mark essay question, few 1 mark short notes and few 2 mark short notes apart from MCQs. so if you lose on essay, you are doomed

once you get the question paper, the first thing you confirm is whether the essay is something which you can blast or be blasted. so this day, when i saw the essay, i was in a total black out. coz neither had i any clue as to what the diagnosis was, nor could i choose to disobey god in the promise i gave. coz this was one of the major first decisions i took for god and couldnt back out.

i had huge temptation to ask my colleagues what it was..

you know the situation. when a red amith with horns on his head and tail sits on your left shoulder and a white angelic amith on your right shoulder and argues out on your decision.

but this time i had to face a huge strong devilish amith. it was a huge struggle. but by god's grace i said a big NO.

well i decided to give god some time. i went on writing the other questions.

just half hour left for the exam to get over. and i was done with the other questions..still the temptation rose up. BUT I DECIDED TO CLOSE MY PEN AND PRAY.

that made the difference for sure

15 mts later as if i was seeing a clear vision.A BOLT FROM THE BLUE, the answer just popped up into my mind. and not only that, the page in the book with all diagrams just picturised in front of my eyes...

Diagn: POST INFECTIOUS OPTIC NEURITIS

I wrote with confidence. i did not have an iota of doubt about this, unlike my previous years where i had to confirm the answer with two or three people( What if the person i sought help from, got it wrong)

came out of the exam with extreme joy (in the Lord)

god honoured my decision for him. my Jesus is nobody's debtor.

Moral of the story: if you take a decision for God, he will take care of the rest..

let this be an encouragement to all those who struggle to take decision for god...well i used to struggle. but this incident changed my perspective. PRAISE THE LORD
