I Still Believe

Title: I Still Believe
Scripture:
Proverbs 16:1
The plans of the mind belong to mortals, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

Proverbs 16:9
The human mind plans the way,
    but the Lord directs the steps.

Hello, how have you been? Kumusta?

Tonight, I unexpectedly watched a movie and its title is I Still Believe. This movie is based on the true story of an American singer and his faithful wife who died of cancer. I can relate to the movie because in the last two months my sister passed away because of her heart and skin disease. 

Just like how the married couple in the movie keep their faith in God so as our family, until my sister's last breath, prayed for healing and God's will.

My sister was in great pain. I saw her and it hurt me so much. I prayed to God. I prayed to God to heal my sister, I asked for a miracle. God has extended my sister's life for a week. 
But not a single word did she say she's going to die. She said , "laban lang tiwala lang."

When we pray it doesn't mean that it is going to happen the way we want it to be. We can say everything to God, we can tell him all. BUT, the answer is up to God, what He wants and wills.

When the will of God prevails, we need to accept it even when we don't understand it, even when it is a matter of life and death.

God is good, God is faithful, God is true to his words and promises, God has the best plan for all of us.

God gives us life on earth to experience the seasons of life ( in comfort and in pain) and he is always there for us. Life is about experiencing God's greatness in different ways. Death may seem the end but it's the time we can fully be with God through our faith in Jesus Christ.

We can trust God even when we can't see
Even when we can't see, let's still believe. And that's Faith.

"Suffering does not destroy faith, it refines it."
"God is worth trusting even when we can't see.'' (Melissa Henning-Camp)

THE CONFESSION

     While I am reading a book title "Leadership That Builds" by Glenn Johnson, on its chapter title "A leader Must Have Integrity", I remember my life verse in Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and all who follow His precepts have good understanding, to Him belongs eternal praise." The book explains that fearing God is trusting Him with confidence, but this may fail when you feel guilty at some point in your life.  The hindrance of our confidence in God is the feeling of guilt. In Nehemiah (Book in the Old Testament), which is the scriptural foundation of the said book, confession is Nehemiah's way on gaining confidence in God. He said in Nehemiah 1:6 " let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for your servants, the Israelites, confessing the sins of the Israelites, which we have sinned against you. Both I and my family have sinned."  ...

Sa Hudyat

Makalipas ang halos tatlong buwan sa aking bagong church appointment – Anda Central United Methodist Church (ACUMC), napakarami na agad akong realizations sa buhay, sa sarili, sa ministry, at sa aking pananampalataya. Sa ikatlong buwan lamang na pinahintulutan ako ng ating Diyos na magsalita kaya iyon ang aking gagawin sa puntong ito. Sa ibaba, makikita ang mga supporting verses kung bakit ngayon ay nagbabahagi ako sa inyo. Lucas 5:14 14  Pinagbilinan  siya ni Jesus, “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip ay pumunta ka sa pari at magpasuri sa kanya. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog ayon sa iniuutos ni Moises bilang patotoo sa mga tao na ikaw nga'y magaling na.” Lucas 8:17 17  Walang  natatago na di malalantad, at walang lihim na di mabubunyag. Lucas 8:39 39  “Umuwi ka na at ipamalita mo ang dakilang bagay na ginawa sa iyo ng Diyos.”   Ito ang panahon ng pagbabahagi. Sa unang buwan ng aking new church appointment, ako ay nanibago. Gayun pa man ay pin...

PKA 03 INILIGTAS!

  INILIGTAS! “Ilayo nʼyo ako sa bitag ng aking mga kaaway, dahil kayo ang aking matibay na tanggulan. -Mga Awit 31:4-                     Ang Diyos ang nagligtas kay haring David sa oras ng kanyang pagkabalisa at mga problema. Madalas na hinahanapan ng tao ng solusyon ang kanyang problema. At ang mga problemang ito ay maaaring nakapaloob sa mga aspeto ng buhay: pisikal, pinansyal, mental, emosyonal, sosyal, esprituwal, at sekswal. Ang mga problemang ito ay nagsisilbing mga kaaway na maaring sumira sa tao. Sa katunayan, kahit ano pang pagsisikap ng tao na pagtagumpayan ang mga problema niya, kung nanahan lamang sa kanyang sariling kaisipan at lakas, siya’y mabibigo.                 Si haring David ay humingi ng tulong sa Diyos. Siya ay nagtiwala na kayang-kaya ng Diyos na iligtas siya sa bitag ng kanyang mga kaaway....
