PROMISES

Image
RedOrangeYellowGreenBlueIndigoViolet      I was walking one afternoon coming from a warehouse visit when this perfect rainbow was painted in the sky.  I will always associate this natural phenomena as God's way of keeping His promises.          In  Genesis 9:  12-13 The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever.   14 When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky,  15 I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures. Never again will I let floodwater's destroy all life.  16 When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature.  17 The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.       We often made lots of promises to everyone, it might be to a love one, a friend or ...

CRUEL INTENTIONS: GOD'S PURPOSE

Image
It is in my heart to share my devotions through this blog for the past days.  And has been quite sometime that I was not able to do it.  The day job is requiring me to be on my feet running for the earliest time possible.  But this morning is different, as always I need to spend my time with the BOSS in heaven first. Knowing your  priority is the keyword.  As expected today, I will be ending my day late due to a scheduled meeting with the Kidapawan Chamber of Commerce, arranged by my colleague. My reading is in the book Genesis 49 and 50 and the first chapter of Exodus, it was the end and a new beginning.  The death of Jacob and his sons, the 12 tribes of Israel.  The new beginning of a season for the Israelites who are growing into a mighty nation in a foreign land. One verse caught my attention and this is  Genesis 50:20  " You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save t...

Nine LOVE Years

Image
Nine LOVE Years It's our 9th wedding anniversary today, I am still here at the office in General Santos City, waiting for my turn to present to the boss. I have planned to surprise my baby tonight with a bouquet of flowers and a dinner to a restaurant with a nice table cloth. Then watch a movie......Eat, Love and Pray. Since it will not happen tonight, it is such a sad part of the story. But still I want to thank God for His blessings in our marriage. For being together in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer till death do we part is enough to give him thanks. For giving us two cute kids, Samm who is starting to walk on her own and Yohanne's smile can suck those negative energies we get on our day job. For the supportive family we have both from the natural and spiritual. I have seen how we have grown from the day we shared our vows at the Garden in Waterfront Hotel, Davao. I can say that LOVE indeed is AMAZING! 1 Corinthians 13:13. It has the...

Farmville: Planting and Harvest

  It has been long that I have not written notes for my devotions. Time flies faster than I thought; I have finished 1 and 2 Corinthians without any notes. Don't blame it on busy schedules cause by work and cares of this world. Be responsible enough to take the blame and shape up for God. Mark 8:26 (KJV) For what shall it  profit  a  man , if he shall gain the  whole   world , and lose his own soul? Please put God the FIRST priority above all else. One natural principle is discussed by Paul in his second letter to the Corinthian church is farming. Yes agriculture is the oldest profession; Genesis 2 when God started farming. Genesis 2:4-6, 8-9     When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,  5  neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil .  6  Instead, springs [ b ]  came up from the ground and watered all the land. 8  Then the Lord God planted a ga...

LIVING RIGHT: Fit n’ Right

I am enjoying the book of Romans that I was able to finish the 16 chapters in less than a week. My day job required me this week to be waking up early, time flies so fast, that I failed to notice it is weekend again. Well welcome to life, as long as the Lord is allowing us to breathe; we are still part of the "cycle of life". It is a debate on opinions on how we live this life. As human beings we are given the freedom on what we want to do with it, because of the free will that God will bestowed us. God is full of grace and mercy; He had provided us with a brain to think and unlimited abilities, for we are created in His likeness. Paul in his letter to the Romans, beginning Chapter 1, is consistently reminding Christians on how to live right. It is a bit subjective because sometimes, what is right is relative to somebody's interpretation. But God never failed to show to us, through the life of Jesus and through His words, the Bible what is the right way of conduct....

CREATOR

     I was busy running this week. I had two episodes of getting on the road by 4am, on Wednesday and Thursday. The end result, I was not able to write down my devotions in my blog. It was the first week of May when I started the Book of Acts, with a goal to finish it at the end of the month. It was indeed amazing that, by Monday, May 24 th , I am already in the Book of Romans. If you are following Paul's ministry, It is his letter to strengthen the Christians in Rome,and became the 6 th Book of the New Testament. I am already on the 9 th Chapter and it came to my attention the Creator: Creation concept on Chapter 9:20-21.      We love to create, is it because  we are created in the image and likeness of God? I have friends who are into creation of buildings, art, music and for me in agriculture. Wait a minute, you mean you create plants and animals? No, we can't create but we imagine on how to improve them. The outcome of a c...
