Daiy Devotional: Proverbs 17

Proverbs 17:17
A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.

-a friend we have in Jesus! He who loves us at all times even in our not so good moments or bad times. He is our brother who is born to share with our struggle.
We should love like this. Loving like a friend at all times, a brother or sister in good or bad times.

Proverbs 17:13
If you repay good with evil, evil will never leave your house.

-never repay the goodness of God with evil. Its scary to think bout this.

Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.

-its easier to hold anger than let it go. But holding on to anger is like holding a double edged knife. The more you grip it, the more wounded you'll be.

Proverbs 17:16
It is senseless to pay tuition to educate a fool, since he has no heart for learning.

- sad reality. Kasagaran parents are decieved that pgnapagtapos nila ang kanilang mga anak they become wise at good children. Education never produced character. Its always the fear of the Lord. Useless nga. I know. Nigraduate ko maayo but i was a porn addict, depressive, suicidal and many more. Education doesn't make you a good person. Never have. Never will. Daghang mga tao na 'may pinagaralan' pero walang integrity, character at fear of God. So useless kung makapagtapos ka na wala kay Ginoo.

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...

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...

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 ...
