Serving God Together
There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Acts 18:2-3, NIV Have you seen the movie “Paul, Apostle of Christ?” There, you will have a glimpse of Aquila and Priscilla’s role in the early Christian community. This couple may not be that famous, but they are a good role model for every married couple out there. They were tentmakers, and Paul used to work and travel with them.…

God is Kind
Did you ever wonder how God will respond every time you commit mistakes? How will He treat you every time you miss His instructions? Or how will He react when you are in pain? In 1 John 4:8, it was stated that God is love, and in 1 Corinthians 13, it says that one of the attributes of love is kindness. This means that our God is a kind God. Every time we sin, He will never respond with a condemning voice. He will never highlight our mistakes nor give us the punishment we deserve. God would respond with kindness. Every time we fail to notice His blessings and become…

Those Who Are In The Realm Of The Flesh Cannot Please God
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8, NIV Since we live in this world, we are sometimes governed by standards and desires that will only satisfy our flesh. We seek temporary riches instead of focusing on Heavenly things. When the flesh governs our mind, it means that the worries and desires of this world occupy it. It’s okay to dream of a…

God Gives Us The Chance To Choose
We are not robots. Every day, we are given the chance to make choices in life. All of us are given the freedom to do the things that we want. It’s just sometimes, we feel like we are trapped, because it’s so difficult to choose the right decision. We just can’t find the strength to move because our fears and pains fully consume us. Nevertheless, God didn’t take away that freedom from us. It’s one of the best gifts He gave to us. This truth is very important for us to remember. We will go through situations in life when we feel like someone is controlling us, but in reality,…

God’s Right Hand Will Sustain You
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. Psalms 18:34-35, NIV In life, we will go through difficult battles, some of which cannot be seen. Most of the time, the hardest battle happens on the inside. These are the struggles that people never really notice, not unless they intentionally listen to us. We somehow hide these things because we are scared that people might judge or condemn us. In this verse, David describes how God will help us overcome our battles. He is there to…

Loving Father, Please Remind Me That I Am Not Alone
Lately, I’ve been going through a series of pains that greatly challenged my faith. I don’t know where to start, and I don’t have any clue what’s really going on. I just knew that I was not okay, and something inside was bothering me. Every time I try to face all these uncertainties on my own, I can’t help but wonder why I feel like I am the only human being in this world. The people around me looked so happy and successful. They put smiles on their faces, and it seems like they don’t have any problems at all. But here I am, struggling for something that I don’t…

Seek wisdom and Understanding
The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. Proverbs 19:8, NIV In this world full of information and earthly standards, we are reminded to seek God’s wisdom. We may gain knowledge from what we see and experience, but at the end of the day, it’s wisdom that will help us make the right decision. When we get wisdom, it means that we love our lives. It’s one of the best ways for us to discover God’s will and purpose. So, let’s try to gain the wisdom of God. In everything we do, let’s seek His ways because He alone can guide us. He…

When You Find It Hard To Ask For Help
Are you going through something difficult right now, and you find it hard to ask for help? It’s clear that you need someone who will listen to you, but you just don’t have the courage to do it. Perhaps you tried reaching out before, but no one really stayed with you, and that pain created fear in your heart. From then on, you kept everything on your own, thinking that life is much better if you hide the deepest wounds in your heart. But then, they are just days when you want to express everything. They are just instances when you really want to pour out the heavy burdens in…

Live In Accordance With The Spirit
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Romans 8:5, NIV Who governs your life right now? Are you living according to the flesh? Or do you live in accordance with the Spirit? According to Paul, you will know it by examining the desires of your heart. What do you truly desire to happen in your life? Is it to have more money, to be successful in your career, or to buy the things that you want to acquire? Is it to have a…
