My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
‘I was a lecturer in statistics in a university in Malaysia. I like order and numbers. During Covid I had the opportunity to come to the UK for further study, to do a PhD. But there were a few considerations because the scholarship wasn’t a big amount, so I had a lot of worries. My husband would have to arrange a lot about his career to come to the UK too.
‘We prayed and we knew that we wanted to be together, not to be apart. A verse came to my mind, Matthew 6.33, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well”. My thinking was that God’s “righteousness” was that we shouldn’t be apart. So we came together to the UK and trusted that God would provide.
‘It’s been amazing because we thought we wouldn’t have enough money and that we’d have to use our savings. But my husband got a part-time job and I also got a job as a teaching assistant. So, we haven’t had to use the money from our savings, and have actually been able to save money!
‘I thought it would be really difficult and it hasn’t. The thing that I have learned is that people do life-planning, strategy, financial planning, but now I have found that when you do the right thing with the Lord, it goes well.
‘That’s given me a lot of peace. After that, we have less worries. I worry less now about what’s happening. I love statistics, but God’s maths was different.’
