Sa Kanya


Mga Kawikaan 16:3,9

"3 Ipagkatiwala mo kay Yahweh ang iyong mga gagawin,  at magtatagumpay ka sa lahat ng iyong mga layunin."


"9 Ang tao ang nagbabalak, ngunit si Yahweh ang nagpapatupad."

Isang paalala!

Habang nasa Spiritual Retreat ako ng mga kababaihan ng simbahan, inalala ko kung ano-ano ang mga pinaghandaan at ginawa ko nitong mga nakaraang araw. Sinabi ko sa aking sarili, "kahit pala anong paghahanda at pagplaplano na aking gawin hindi ito matutupad kung wala ang kalooban  at gabay ng Diyos."Madalas sa ating buhay ay gusto natin ng "perfect at planado" pero ang totoo laging mayroong mga pagkukulang. Nakakadismaya din kapag hindi natupad yung gusto mong mangyari. Kung dumaan ka man sa ganitong sitwasyon, suriin mo ang iyong sarili dahil baka mali ang motibo mo o di kaya ay nagkulang ka na kumunsulta sa ating Diyos. Baka naman nakakalimot kana na hindi mo kaya ang lahat at tanging ang Diyos lang ang may kontrol ng lahat. Sa kasamaang palad ay ganito ang ating mentalidad, madalas na kinkokontrol natin ang sitwasyon at nakakalimot tayo na magtiwala sa pagkilos at kapangyarihan ng ating Diyos. 

Kaya naman isang paalala ang mga talatang ito sa Bibliya na lahat ng ating gagawin at bago pa man tayo magplano o kumilos ay hingiin lagi natin ang patnubay ng ating Diyos. Kumilos o gumawa ng bukal sa kalooban, sumunod sa Diyos ng may pagtitiwala at katapatan. At tiyak sa huli, hindi na natin makikita ang anumang mga pagkukulang bagkus ay magkakaroon tayo ng kapayapaan dahil tayo ay sumunod sa Diyos at nagtiwala sa Kanyang mga gagawin. Magkakaroon tayo ng tamang motibo at hindi na tayo nakatuon sa ating sarili kundi tanging sa Diyos na lamang.

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...

For a quick background of the story, the father has two sons and the younger son asked his father to give him his inheritance. When the younger son received his inheritance, he decided to go away and spend his wealth to please himself. He experienced struggles being away and lost everything until he realized that he was wrong about his decision and decided to go back to his father, not as his son but as a slave. The father was very happy when he saw his younger son return. Because he was lost and now found. The father’s happiness is not limited to affirmation and forgiveness. The father even made a celebration and welcomed his son without condemnation. However, the reaction of t...
