The Fear of the Lord

 Psalm 111:10 (NRSV)

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.His praise endures forever."

When we pay attention to who God is and submit our will to His, we will be reminded that God deserves all the glory.

This verse keeps my feet touching the ground. All that we have are from God. There comes a point in my life that I felt entitled of something which I should not be. Through this verse, I realized that in every victory, every blessing, and every good thing we must acknowledge God. We should always give the credit to God.

The more we fear the Lord and ackowledge Him, the more we see things according to His perspective. Also, we will learn and understand why various things are happening.

Lord, you are the Most High, teach me your ways and guide me throughout this life. In Jesus' Namen. Amen.

HIV Awareness (4) HIV Closing Session

 The field practicum class went to the United Methodist Church Head Quarters in Ermita, Manila, on April 20, 2024, from 1:00-5:00 PM. We have our closing session, basic counseling session, and debriefing with A.P.W.A.I. members and the deaconess in charge.   During the closing session, we shared our learnings, realizations, and reflections on our exposure to the activities and the lives of people living with HIV. We have talked about our experiences during HIV Awareness at Wesleyan University, our encounters and discussions with PLHIV, and visitation in the shelter for PLHIV, the PAFPI.  Even though, we, the field practicum students have differences in how to perceive things, we have received a common message from the issue of HIV. We have learned that PLHIV doesn’t want us to pity them but instead they want us to give them 3Ps (Pang-unawa, Pagtanggap, Pantay na karapatan). They want us to give them our understanding of their situation, to accept...

Devotion The Greatest Commandment

  Matthew 22:34-40 NRSV The Greatest Commandment 34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, an expert in the law, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Is it enough to just know? Is it enough to just know the greatest commandment? What is the greatest commandment? We should know the greatest commandment. And we should obey it as the LORD commands. In our text today, the beginning verse started with the Pharisees and the experts of the law gathered together. One of them questioned Jesus about the commandment. This one, who is a law expert, tried to test J...
