"Warrior Poets"

Psalm 45
1 Beautiful words stir my heart.
      I will recite a lovely poem about the king,
      for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.
 2 You are the most handsome of all.
      Gracious words stream from your lips.
      God himself has blessed you forever.
 3 Put on your sword, O mighty warrior!
      You are so glorious, so majestic!
 4 In your majesty, ride out to victory,
      defending truth, humility, and justice.
      Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!
 5 Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts.
      The nations fall beneath your feet.
 6 Your throne, O God,[b] endures forever and ever.
      You rule with a scepter of justice.
 7 You love justice and hate evil.
      Therefore God, your God, has anointed you,
      pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.
 8 Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes.
      In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you.
 9 Kings’ daughters are among your noble women.
      At your right side stands the queen,
      wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir!
 10 Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say.
      Forget your people and your family far away.
 11 For your royal husband delights in your beauty;
      honor him, for he is your lord.
 12 The princess of Tyre[c] will shower you with gifts.
      The wealthy will beg your favor.
 13 The bride, a princess, looks glorious
      in her golden gown.
 14 In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king,
      accompanied by her bridesmaids.
 15 What a joyful and enthusiastic procession
      as they enter the king’s palace!
 16 Your sons will become kings like their father.
      You will make them rulers over many lands.
 17 I will bring honor to your name in every generation.
      Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.

WANT TO WALK ON WATER? STEP OUT OF YOUR BOAT!

Sometimes I get frustrated in discipleship.  My frustrations might seem directed towards people but its actually the FEARS thats eating them alive. I am angry at that. I really want to send them back to where they belong. I mean the Fear ha? Not the person! But at the same time you feel very helpless to help the person. You can't help someone unless they want the help. In my reverie, I thought of one of my rhemas lately in prayer. It was Peter walking on water in Matthew14:27-31. As I dwell in the Word, I also felt what Peter was going through. Have you ever tried wanting to experience something soooooo amazing it requires something from you really crazy? I dont really know what Peter's intentions were when he decided to step out of the boat and walked on water. It might have sounded like a way for him to prove it was really Jesus walking on water. So he asked Jesus to call him out and Jesus said, "Yes, come." (But as for me in my curre...

Bring them back to Repentance? IMPOSSIBLE

This message in Hebrews 6:4 to 6, can be a warning to 3 people: Those who ‘turned away from God”; Those who have not ‘turned away from God and; Those who know people who “turned from God”.   It stands as a warning to us.  Have we heard God’s voice and trembled? I don’t mean fear that keeps us from coming to God, but the kind of fear that is spoken in Proverbs as “the foundation of wisdom.” We fondly pray that God would speak to us and hear His voice but do we really know what we are praying? It reminded me of the Israelites who were at the foot of Mount Sinai. When they heard God’s thunderous voice, they did not dare come nearer and asked Moses to speak in their behalf (Deuteronomy 5:23-27). To quote Francis Chan, “When you pick up your Bible, you are actually holding something better than a voice coming out of a cloud on the top of a mountain.” So this warning must really create a Holy fear in us that will keep us from turning away from God. It ...

Hospital Beds, IV's and Birthdays

Last September 28, 2011, Wednesday was Ate Myra's Birthday. Sadly, she was admitted at the DMSF Hospital a night before because she had a seizure and hyperventilated. On her birthday I dropped by Ma Anne since I was just around PISD (official business po)... While I was there I asked her if I could stay for lunch since my next appointment would be after lunch. She suggested that if I could visit ate Myra at the hospital. I agreed. She asked me to bring te Myra bananas (isang piling ng saging na may love letter ni Ma Anne, jajaja!!).. Then Off I go!! I arrived at hospital before lunch. Ate Joy (one of Ma Anne's P12) was with her. We chatted then I gave her the bananas (jejeje...she was overwhelmed. Very touched!!) She shared to me what happened why she was rushed to the ER and now admitted to the hospital. And how God was gracious with her, blessing her with classmates, teachers, C.I's and even their dean on her admission. Even the room was already reserved for another patie...
