"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for the Lord ; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord." ~Psalms 27:13‭-‬14 NASB . . . . #Jesusfilled2019 #awesomeGod #amazingGod #wonderfulcreations #fotografia #travelphotography #traveldeeper #traveller #potd #wanderlust #travelgram #mountains #naturephotography #photooftheday #photography #fridaythoughts #hope #faith (at Florentino's Little Tagaytay of cebu) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ypxhogLJT/?igshid=1u4t2hgo6hea4

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. ~Hebrews 12:1‭-‬2 NLT #fotografia #Jesusfilled2019 #awesomeGod #amazingGod #wonderfulcreations #wanderlust #scenic #mountains #explore #fotografiaunited #instatravel #nature #naturelovers #bukidlife #Godisincontrol (at Florentino's Tagaytay Vibe Balamban) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsqQEi-AdEh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t6ed7w3ygm6p

Jesus is saying to you and to me, "There is no limit to how many times I will forgive you, and there is no limit to how many times I can empower you to forgive others. There is no limit to how many times I can heal your broken heart when you're hurt. There is no limit to how free you can be.

The Power of a Vow

Have you ever made a vow to someone before?  How about a vow to God? 

Deuteronomy 23:21-23 says,

“If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.  But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty. Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.”

I’m sure you have had times where in you would negotiate with the Lord - “Lord, please answer this prayer and I would commit my life to serve you forever,” or something to that effect.   

We negotiate with God, but then once we get what we want or have prayed for... we forget about God and go on with our lives.  Most of the time, we only remember Him when we are in pain, in trouble, in a difficult circumstance, when we need help.  But it says here, if we made a vow, a commitment to the Lord and we do not uphold to it -- it is a sin.  Nobody forced us to make those promises, it was voluntary.. even under the emotions we have been experiencing at that time.. those are still promises.  

Do you remember any promises you made to God?  Have you been faithful to those promises? or are you like most people who have buried it with time and forgotten?

Make time with God today. Spend time with Him and ask His help to remind you, to guide you, and lead you where He wants you to be, what He wants for you to do as a worker for His Kingdom.  God bless you!

Be Set Apart

For a while now, my readings have been about obeying the Lord, following His commands and the like.  I’ve been reflecting on this and have been asking God -- what is it that He wants be to follow or obey.  Is there anything I am not seeing or hearing from Him right now.. 

Today, I was reading Deuteronomy and this verse just resounded to me 

“When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.” ~ Deutoronomy 18:9

Wherever God takes us -- new environment, new work, new neighborhood, new friends, new journey -- always shine for Jesus.

Most of the time, when God places us into such circumstances, the initial reaction is to want to fit in, to be accepted by the people, to conform.  But I don’t think that is what God would want for us to do, at least not everytime.  

Regardless of what or who, we need to continue to shine for Jesus. If there are things, practices that are not pleasing unto the eyes of God, we shouldn’t follow.  Instead, we should be the positive (godly) influencers. 

If we become popular, by making unpopular decisions, then be it. What matters is we are doing what is popular in the eyes of God. Everytime we do something, we need to ask ourselves -- Are what we are doing a pleasing aroma to the Lord? Are we glorifying His name through these? Are the things we do aligned to God’s heart? Are we becoming more and more like Christ everyday?

Be Set Apart.  Romans 12:2 says “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

I believe God has been reminding me about my ways, how I have been behaving the past weeks.  I haven’t been exactly pleasing Him with my actions and behavior.  With this, please pray with me that -- We may continue to reflect God’s love, grace and glory through our lives. For people to truly see how God has been working in our lives that through us, people would also want to know more about the one and only True and Living God.

🎶In the quiet, in the stillness I know that You are God In the secret of Your presence I know there I am restored 🎤When You call I won't refuse Each new day again I'll choose There is no one else for me None but Jesus Crucified to set me free Now I live to bring Him praise In the chaos, in confusion I know You're sovereign still In the moment of my weakness You give me grace to do Your will When You call I won't delay This my song through all my days All my delight is in You Lord All of my hope, all of my strength All my delight is in You Lord forever more ~None But Jesus #nooneelsebutJesus #hillsong #illsayyes #toyourwilllordJesus #awesomeGod #amazingGod #blessed #grace #love #mercy #faithfulGod

"Im seriously interested in making the world a better place..." ~Sweetbridge CEO Scott Nelson A lot of people would have the same thought and perhaps dream in life.. But so, how do you put those thoughts into action? Will those be just mere things playing in your head, or are you ready to take the first steps to make those dreams a reality? 🤗 A lot of steps needed to get there and the future seems to just be a blur but nothing is impossible if you have faith and believe ☝️🙌👣 . . . #saturdaythoughts #reflections #blessed #awesomeGod #amazingGod #SovereignGod #Sweetbridge #nature #skies #future #vision #instafotos #travelgram #traveller #palawan #coron #asiatravels @karenelson @heywoodj (at Coron, Palawan)

"You might not be able to see where your headed, but I assure you, the Lord can and He's holding your hand. He's breathing life into every aspect of your present and future. He's shining His light even in the darkest corners of your mind. So hold tight to Him. Hold tight to His love, knowing that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and because of Jesus, you are in His grip forever. No uncertainty, no broken dreams, and no fear of the future can keep you from Him. He is with you always, in all of this. Trust Him. Believe. And let Him gracefully lead you where you need to be."~Morgan Harper Nichols 💖🙌☝️ . . . . #awesomeGod #amazingGod #love #hope #faith #trust #skies #nature #landscape #traveldeeper #traveller #coron #calauitsafari #asia #travelgram #traveller #palawan #wanderlust #potd #reflections #thoughts #saturdaythoughts #photooftheday #vsco (at Coron, Palawan)

As still as the waters in Melaka River, I am reminded by God to also just be still today for He will fight my battles for me, He will fight my enemies for me. It doesn't matter what people will say about me. What matters is what God thinks, for He knows what is in every corner of my heart 🙌☝️❤️ "Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” ~Exodus 14:13‭-‬14 NIV #awesomeGod #amazingGod #melaka #malacca #melacca #WheninMalaysia #river #nature #traveldeeper (at Malacca, Malaysia)
