I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the things that are not-to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. God deliberately chose in spite of your weaknesses.Ģ7 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. You weren’t chosen because you were perfect for the task. God is fully in control of my exams, my destiny, my results.Ī ll the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. I will not worry about what is outside my control. Or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,Īnd will keep your foot from being snared. My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Lord, help me to take a break from the text books every so often and remember where my greatest help comes from: This collection of Bible verses for exams are as much a reminder to myself, as an encourager to other students facing exams. So with my final exams of medical school coming up in six days, I’ve decided to post a collection of my favourite Bible verses for exams (categorised by topic) that have helped me through every exam so far from the last five years. Now, as I look back after five years of exams, I realise again that my success in exams so far has come from seeking the Lord, not from trying to achieve out of my own human strength. This whole blog is a testimony of those stories. What amount of human effort can ever be more effective than the help that God gives to anyone who seeks his kingdom?Įvery time I’ve tried to live my life in accordance with this passage, I’ve seen God do things which I thought weren’t possible. I realise anew what is the true key to success. When I remember this passage, I remember what is really important in life. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. It is a famous one which has been the recurring theme of my medical school life for the last five years: It’s not an intentional decision to turn from God… but an insidious process that happens when I lose my priorities in the face of looming barrier exams.īut every year when this happens, one particular verse comes back to me and grabs my attention. Before I know it, my usual routine of setting aside time for the Lord each day flies out the window. I unintentionally pack my days so full with study that there’s no room left for him. Tired from hours of cramming, I start getting too tired to spend time with God after a long day’s work. I must confess that during exams, I sometimes find myself spending less time with God.
