Day 260 – Philippians 2:14
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, Philippians 2:14, NIV Sometimes, when we are too occupied with so many challenges in life, we tend to complain to God and forget the blessings that He gave us. We must remember that grumbling or arguing with each other can never solve our problems. Instead, we need to learn how to patiently wait for God’s answers. Let’s stop relying on our own understanding. Let’s focus on the word of God and obey His commands. Let’s turn our grumbling into a hymn of praise to God. We need to honor Him through the words that we speak and through our thoughts. I pray that we…

Behind every season of Harvest are moments of Pruning and Hardships
Sometimes, what people see is the harvest season or the fruits in your life. They fail to count the difficulties you went through before that fruitful season happened. So when you see someone who appears to be very successful and victorious, learn to also consider those difficult seasons that they went through just to get to the place where they are. Good things happen to those who wait and work hard. Great blessings don’t only happen in an instant. Most of the time, it takes a long process, and so many difficulties before you finally receive them. There are still so many reasons you need to go through. There are…

Day 259 – Mark 9:23
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23,NIV In this passage, Jesus saw a demon-possessed boy, and He asked his father about his condition. His father said, “if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us”. And that’s when Jesus answered that everything is possible for one who believes. You see, just like the boy’s father, we have seasons where we tend to doubt God’s power in our lives. But all we need to do is to keep our faith in Him. Whatever you ask for from God, don’t easily lose hope, and don’t doubt His goodness. God is listening to…

Don’t expect for a Relationship to last if you didn’t even invest enough time for it
Every relationship is a two-way process. It won’t work if only one will make time for it. It’s true in different kinds of relationships – family, friends, partners, and above all, with God. You need to invest enough time so that it will grow stronger. Remember that we all experience changes in life, we learn new things, and we go through different challenges. The situation that we face will transform our perspective and our character. So if we won’t do something with our relationships, then we will surely grow apart from the people we love. Remember that real treasures can’t be found in the material things you can acquire. They…

Day 257 – Mark 8:36
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:36, NIV Don’t compromise your soul just for the sake of gaining honor and wealth in this world. What matters most is not the temporary things you acquire but the wonderful treasures you keep for your soul. Bear in mind that everything you see will not last. There may be certain things that will entertain you or make you feel happy for just a moment, but they can never quench the thirst in your heart. Only God can touch the deepest part of your soul, and He alone knows what you need. So come…

Day 257 – John 5:30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. John 5:30, NIV Jesus chose not to please Himself but His Father in heaven. He obeyed His instructions and glorified His Name. He may be the Son of God, He may have the power, but Jesus humbled Himself and chose to submit to His Father’s will. He acknowledged that He is nothing without God’s help. We are also called to obey Jesus and please His name. What He did is an example for us to follow. We must remember that we…
