Believe in the Goodness of God
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalms 27:13, NKJV One thing that greatly helped David, especially in seasons of difficulties, was to believe in God’s goodness. He would have lost heart, but he kept reminding himself that God was good despite everything he was going through. Many times, we also go through seasons when we want to give up. We experience moments of loss or pain, and we can’t help but think that God doesn’t care. In this verse, we are reminded that one of the things that would help us hold…

We can never satisfy our Spirit just by relying on our own Efforts and Strengths
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3, NIV Sometimes, when we are at the peak of our success, or when we feel that our life flows so smoothly, we think what we have is more than enough. We tend to rely on our strengths, thinking we can survive on our own. We focus on the riches that we have, and we live as if we are the ruler of our lives. But the sad truth is that life is not perfect. Whether we like it or not, we will go through seasons where we will realize how much we need God. The…

Day 294 – Proverbs 20:18
Plans are established by seeking advice; so if you wage war, obtain guidance. Proverbs 20:18, NIV Do not rely on your own understanding. Seek advice from those people who already have credible experiences. You don’t have to go through difficulties just for you to learn. There are a lot of resources around you that you can use to discover more valuable inputs about the opportunities that you want to explore. You will win not because of your strengths but because of the people that God allowed sent to support you. Obtain guidance, and don’t walk on your own. Look for a mentor who can lead you along the way. Above…

Day 228 – Romans 5:6
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6, NIV God’s love is not dependent on your strength. He accepted and saved you not because of your deeds or your own understanding. Jesus chose to die on the cross even when you are powerless. He chose to sacrifice His life even if you didn’t put Him first in your heart. He loves you for who you are. And it will never change even when you feel so lonely and in pain. So don’t focus on your own abilities. Instead, be dependent on the power of God. Choose to receive His…

Don’t let your Weaknesses become part of your Excuses
We can’t do everything using our strength. We all have limitations, but that doesn’t mean you can no longer fulfill the purpose that God gave you.

Before He asked you to do something, He already determined the strength that you need. And through His grace, you will make it. Fix your eyes on His power, and remember that with Him, you can do all things. In your weakness, He will be your strength. In moments when you are tired, know that…

Your perspective is very important because it determines your decisions in life. If you keep thinking about the things that you can’t control, then you will be so disappointed. Take charge of yourself and try to focus on your strengths. Listen to God, and He will remind you of your true identity. In Him, you will find the courage to keep moving despite what you feel. He will let you see the beauty behind the hardship that you…

Don’t spend your Life Fighting for Things that are not Meant for You
We all have dreams in our hearts, but sometimes, we try to follow the wrong path. We listen to what the world is saying instead of listening to God. The sad truth is we will only realize that what we are doing is all wrong the moment we feel unfulfilled inside. The harsh realities of life will teach us that certain things are not meant for us. Yes, it will hurt at first, but it’s part of the process. It’s better to know the truth than live a life that’s full of lies. So stop spending the rest of your time here on earth fighting for the desires that are…
