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.

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."  ...

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...

Biyaheng Dumagat

May 29, 2024, Miyerkules, sa oras na 12:00pm hanggang 6:00pm, mula Harris Memorial College Taytay Rizal papunta sa Sitio Nayon, Brgy. Sta. Ines, Tanay Rizal at pabalik muli sa Taytay, Rizal.      Naganap ang lahat ng ito pangalawang araw matapos ng aming college graduation. Halos, lahat ng aking mga batchmates ay pauwi na sa kanilang bayan. Ngunit ako, minabuti kong manatili muna ng ilaw araw at sulitin ang pagkakataon para mapuntahan ang mga lugar sa paligid ng Taytay, Rizal. Isa sa aking gustong puntahan ang lugar kung saan makikita ang mga Dumagat Tribe. Nalaman ko ang patungkol sa kanila una, ay dahil sa aming eskweluhan. Nabanggit ito sa amin noon at nasabing mayroon ministry ang school patungkol sa kanila. Ayon sa impormasyon na aking nakalap, nag-aral sa Harris Memorial College ang kauna-unahang professional sa kanilang tribo. Siya ay si teacher Diday. Pangalawa, nalaman ko ito dahil mayroong student deaconess mula sa kanilang tribo na ngayon ay graduating student ...
