I somehow find myself doubting the goodness of God whenever I face unexpected situations that break my heart. When life throws so many overwhelming problems, I often think that God no longer cares about me. But this verse reminds me that God is good no matter how painful and difficult my situation is. I find it amazing that David remained confident in the Lord despite all the challenges He was…

The Life Of Those Who Do Wrong Were Like The Grass That Will Soon Wither
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Psalm 37: 1-2, NIV There are instances in life when we envy those who do wrong. We wonder why they receive so many blessings while we are trying to do the right thing and end up receiving little. This kind of feeling is so common nowadays. People focus on the ill-gotten wealth that others acquire, and it seems like there’s no justice for those affected. We can’t help but wonder if God is still moving in the…

Don’t take every negative thing in your life as something that will destroy you. Behind the pain and struggles is God’s favor. You have to look at the brighter side to see the blessings. Don’t rely on your own understanding. Sometimes, when we go through trials, our first response is to question God’s will.

God allows the Pruning Season because He wants you to Grow and Prosper
There were times in our lives wherein we set things our way. We create plans and make the most of our time. But, there were also times we lay low and took some rest before another battle started. Needless to say, our lives in this world revolve around things of ups and downs. We can be sad now and be happy later. We can be crying right now and then laugh later.
