YUMMY

   I can still remember my son, Jude when he was still a kid, during mealtimes we usually make a scene at home. It will take hours before he can finish his food. As a child he preferred to eat sweets like chocolate and ice cream but when it comes to real healthy food that a growing child is supposed to eat he simply refused to eat them. It was a very tedious task back then when I had to utilize all tactics in order to make him eat. Somehow I felt that God our Father feels the same way because He wants what's best for us but we sometimes refuse to follow and fail to understand that it will always be for our own good. Ezekiel 2:8–3:48 The Lord God said to me: As for you, son of man, obey me when I speak to you, be not rebellious like this house of rebellion, but open your mouth and eat what I shall give you. We've got to realize that there is nothing more delicious than the food God is offering us. We need to make sure that what we sought and yearn for, is what should bring us g...

PERCENT PROBABILITY

Image
      Our God is indeed a God who provides for everything we need. I was reminded of a friend who is worried about her job situation. I told her that her doubts and anxieties will not make things better in fact it may even worsen things. I shared to her about the fruits of the Holy Spirit which is love, peace, joy, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control. If it produces none of these like worry and anxiety then those are not of the Lord's and every time we succumb to it then we give power to the opposite spirit or the enemy since we choose to bring about these fruits that are not of the Holy Spirit. I told her that she has to dispel right away these negative feelings whenever there is an occasion that leads her to it. I even laughed at myself when I told her about a point system. Every time she succumbs to these ill feelings then she is unconsciously although not deliberately willing it, giving the enemy the advantage to win in the batt...

FAIR WEATHER FRIEND

Image
  There are times when we expect God to reveal Himself to us through spectacular and heart rending events that we miss the point. We sometimes associate God and good luck to a certain extent that we fail to know the difference. In all of these things that are happening in our lives we have to realize what's most important is that we get God's message. In today's 1st reading God reminds us that He is always with us through thick and thin, even when we hardly hear or feel Him or seems like He is absent and doesn't care at all. Amen. Hallelujah! 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13 ...A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD — but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake — but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake there was fire — but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. 13 When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the en...

TRUE CONNECTION

Image
  We may have been praying for something a long time already and it seemed like nothing is happening. We must not lose heart for God is always at work. His ways and thoughts are much higher than ours. We can always rely on His word and can hold on to what Fr. Orbos said that there is a reason and a mission for everything and whatever may be happening to us we should always remember that it is in transition. It’s been many years ago when I first encountered this bible passage from today’s 1st reading on Oct. 7, 2007 (10-07-07). From that time, I’ve started writing down daily reflections based on the assigned bible readings up to this very day.    This bible passage was also one of the reasons why I remain steadfast in my decisions back then despite of it all. It’s also divine providence that I came across a music video in You Tube entitled “Everything In It’s Time” which has an identical message in today’s 1 st reading which really captured the special meaning I hold in m...

WE CAN BET ON THIS

Image
   Do you feel safe and secure in your homes, offices, and other places aside from these. We have come to reach a point in our present day life when we often hear a lot of shocking news about fraud, robbery and murder which is now very rampant. There is no reason to fear because we can always count on an Invincible and Almighty God. Nahum 2:1, 3; 3:1-3, 6-71 See, upon the mountains there advances the bearer of good news, announcing peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah, fulfill your vows! For nevermore shall you be invaded by the scoundrel; he is completely destroyed. He is the boss! He calls the shots that's why we are confident that nothing can go wrong let's just always trust God that whatever happens He is in control, amen. Deuteronomy 32:35cd-36ab, 39abcd, 41R: It is I who deal death and give life.35 Close at hand is the day of their disaster and their doom is rushing upon them! 36 Surely, the LORD shall do justice for his people; on his servants he shall have pity. Aren’...

AWESOME GOD

Image
   Since today is the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, all the readings point only to one thing, the Kingship, Majesty and Dominion of God over all the earth. In today's 1st reading, God is described as seating on His throne and gave an impression of great power. It takes us to another aspect or level of understanding of the majesty of our God. We ought to be glad and rejoice that we have a God who is Almighty and Immortal that no one or nothing can ever be over and above Him. Whenever we hear the word throne then we immediately paint a picture in our minds about royalty, highness and being on top of everything. This is all true when we speak of God. Although we may never be able to fully visualize God, the Ancient One sitting on the throne, it reminds us of the truth that He is King of kings and Lord of lords.    We just can’t put the right words into our mouth when we speak of God’s majesty. God is almighty and all powerful. He is beyond words! Amen. Halle...

A LOVE THAT NEVER FADES

Image
    Nothing beats the kind of love that God has for all of us. It is a love that never fades and is there to stay. Amen. Hallelujah! Jeremiah 31:1-7 ...“With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you... We can always take courage in the fact that we have a Loving Father who is like a Good Shepherd. He will surely lead us to the right path. There are significant events in our life that we can associate with certain major decisions we made and can never forget. In everything let us always lift it to God in prayer.  The place where we are right now is exactly where God wants us to be. If God brings us here then He will bring us through it. God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to us in our life at this precise moment. God's purpose for us is simply perfect. He wants to show us things that only we can understand by living what we are living and by being in the place where we are now. That's God, He passes us through a lo...
