" I believe..."

  It's an old song favorite of mine...But Robin Herd's version of this song makes it more timeless with Randy Knaps and on the piano, Brian Heney!

Psalms 91: 1-16

 

Day 17 of 2021

Since the inception of Covid 19 and every morning when I get up, I am on my knees praying Psalms 91:1-16 to myself, my children and families, and my brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe it in my heart that reading the Word, praying the Word, believing the Word of God, and sharing the Word with the right people that don't carry suspicion and doubt are effective ways to combatting this so-called virus.

Another thing that we should remember wisely that to me it all comes down to how strong your immune system is. How do you take good care of yourself? Spiritually and physically. It's a lot of work to keep you and me healthy and strong. But that's the way it is: nothing in this life is easy. God did not promise us not to have tribulations but if we're truly wise, we ask him to guide us and lead the way. We'll get through anything with God on our side. He already had prepared the Way before us. 

It is just so important that we keep our trust in Him and not what our eyes see in the natural. That is what you call Faith & Hope. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)says that Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. However, we must continue to have our Faith in the right direction. We can't put our trust in our politicians or our government officials especially if their policies don't align with the Word of God. Our shield, armor is the Word of God. What men say is fallible but God's Bible is infallible. Take heart that you know...

"Evidence of God's Goodness..."

 Day 16 of 2021

Today was a ray of sunshine...not only in the physical sense but spiritually, too. 

My son's car's tire was so flat & overblown that an air pressure machine that he owns can't do the job. From my vantage point, it looked like the tire can't be fixed or patched. I was so sure that it's not a nail that punctured that tire. I even thought it was slashed by some jerk but my son said that they really tried to do that they could have done the back tire not the front tire. I don't dig that argument. Because if a bad person does commit a bad deed, he or she wouldn't be very picky. They just want to commit a crime.

The car dealer place where my son bought his car is closed on the weekends especially the repairs dept.

So I called my brother-in-law who was a retired car mechanic from the Army. At least I wanted to see if the tire can be patched so we know what other options we have. So, my son and my brother-in-law worked together to put the donut tire while he went ahead and took the tire with him to patch it up. By the way, it was a nail punctured. He even let me feel the air that was coming out of the hole. 

What a good coincidence that my brother-in-law wasn't busy today. He came to help out on very short notice. That was a good favor Lord that you sent a family member to help another family member. Definitely, that was a problem solved for the day.

I also put 3 new window blinds this afternoon. I thought putting them will help keep the house stay warm in this cold season. I did the first two blinds without any major hassles but when I did the last one, I couldn't seem to anchor the mini blind holder to the wall. You think by now it's easy but it wasn't anything wrong with the hardware. It was on how I drilled the window- blind holders. It was backward. I was getting tired perhaps that I didn't notice it right away. But God is good, He's in every little detail in everything that we do, if you let Him be your guide.

"God is good...All the time and God is good..."

"The Devil's Advocate: Division Among Us...

 

Day 15 of 2021

What we're watching now in our nation is the result of masqueraded lies that satan has been working in the media, in politics, and in every which way we turn. Many of us have already been victimized by the facade of his dominion of lies. We can't even admit that it even sabotage the presidential election up to a point where Christians have lost their equilibrium on things that really matter to God.

Vengeance belongs to God. We wash our hands on any ploy or tactic that the evil is so subtle to manipulate our mind through the things that we see, hear, read & speak. No filter, no wisdom, no guilt, and no conscientious effects of such beliefs imposed by the enemy. Peter 5:8 " admonishes us to be sober-minded and alert for our adversary, the devil, prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 

We eventually cater to the affluence of slavery into our minds and shackled our feet from going to places where we could be ambassadors of His Word. The devil is so creative in diverting us from the Calvary Cross where Jesus already finished it all for us. This absolute truth should have been more than enough to follow Him. Should Jesus tarry soon, it will be all too late for unbelievers...

"Today is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. The joy of the Lord is our strength. We can do all thing through Christ who strengthens us."

God Loves You...

"One Day, We will see the Promised Land..."

 Day 14 of 2021

We need to renew our Hope to a higher, deeper level. We need to hope against what we see in the natural. I know I have...through incessant, fervent prayers.

"God Will Turn It Around..."

 Day 13 of 2021

God is never late; neither too early to answer your call. God's timing is perfect. Perfection only belongs to God. We can't use the adjective perfect to a person's accomplishment or to put somebody on a pedestal as if he /she is unreachable and can't be tainted. That's ludicrous.

I'm already so fed up with what the majority of the Democrats and some Republicans plus the media are so obsessed with taking down our President. This is the only thing that matters to them. They never truly cared about the well being of the American people. Because if they ever did, they would have had considered looking into this fraudulence during the presidential election. President Trump shortsighted the magnitude of what his enemies can do. No matter what he says or does, the indictment by the foes has been already been ruled out to their hearts' content. 

The irony and the saddest part of it all is we watch darkness unfold into different phases and layers that have become so confusing, alarming, and overwhelming that many of us just accepted it. Our voices have been penetrated by whose power is heard the loudest. If you keep on hearing the same mind-blowing frantic news 24/7 you might start to believe what you hear because your brain is getting fed bombastically. That's why I have decided 8 years ago not to watch the big networks to keep my sanity intact. I get my news from Christian channels. At least, it is much much more credible than all of the networks combined.

I believe in the Sovereignty of God, his omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent powers...He is the only one who can turn this around. He is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble.

Psalms 46:1 (KJV)

What A Difference A Day Makes...

Day 12 of 2021

My school had many shared stories about their families especially their children's goofy experience in the snow last Sunday. Me...I just watch by my window how the flurries got thickened as hours went by. I knew then that by the next morning which is Monday, schools will be closed. That alone ushered my heart to a flutter...An extra day off school is just fantastic...

I say, what a difference a day makes because after that 3-4 inches of snow in your surroundings, the next day is a ray of sunshine all over again. In retrospect of the rare event of snow here in Texas, that moment watching it fall to the ground makes you  think and hope it stays for days or even a week. But Nature decided that the showers of snow will only last for a day...So, you better do something about celebrating it, outside your box of doing things the usual way. 

Today as I look around my dwelling place there were residues of snow drips in my driveway, outside my car and in my doorstep. Those images leave me fastened my thoughts of how the hands of God can just create something out of nothing. He's the Creator of all things. He's the beginning and the end. He's infinite. That's a marvelous threshold of our being. We need to reconcile that. Otherwise, we'll always be left staggered, thorn, adrift, and forlorn in pursuit of truth to our life's purpose. 

God Bless
