[Wisdom of Life] As I made every effort to give God my best in worship and ...



As I made every effort to give God my best in worship and prayer, He's awarded me with full scholarships for all 3 years of high school.

~ Ji-hyang Lee (Media Information Communications Department, Paldal Technical High School; 1 High School Mission)

Dreaming of one day becoming a web designer, I kept up with my studies throughout last year to fulfill that dream. Although I lived in Suwon (about 20 miles of Seoul), I kept the Lord's Day holy, never stopped praying, and gladly served as a Part Leader in the Nazareth Choir.
With an earnest desire to give glory to God, I applied to Paldal Technical High School, a specialized school in Suwon, and after submitting my application I prepared an offering with utmost sincerity and received Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer.
I had written down as my prayer request, "Allow me to be the top overall of the incoming class," but the Senior Pastor left out the word "overall" when he prayed for me. I realized why when I saw the final results.
My grades in middle school had always been among the top and, because I was applying to a technical school, I was certain my grades and test scores would put me at the "overall" top. However, another student with better grades and higher scores placed first and I placed second in the incoming class. Upon realizing how arrogant I had been, I repented of it during "The Seven-week Special Prayer Meeting" begun on March 5.
As God saw my deeds, He gave me a truly marvelous gift on March 7. Normally, only the valedictorian would receive a full scholarship for all three years of high school but I heard on that day the school had decided, as a special case, to also award me with a full scholarship for all three years based on my grades and potential.
I had not attended any after-school programs or been tutored privately but as I was faithful to my studies, made every effort to give God my best in worship and prayer, and received the Senior Pastor, God has caused all things to work together for good and allowed me to reap such marvelous results.
I give all glory to God!
