In His Time



Have you ever wondered why there are things in life that we prayed for but we don't get an immediate response from God? And you start questioning your faith and doubted if God heard what you're praying for?

Maybe most of us experienced it.


Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,  neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,  so are my ways higher than your ways  and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God's ways and thoughts will always be better than us. Maybe the pain you are experiencing right now will be the lesson that you will need for the future. Maybe the defeat you experienced will be the fire that you will use for your next move in life. Whatever we are going through right now there is always a reason for that.


A plan to prosper you.


Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

We need to trust in Him. We need to let Him move for us. He knows what's best for us. Since the day we were born, He already has the blueprint of our life. He is the best father and He will never harm His children. There’s nothing in the galaxy that is outside of God’s grand plan.


Lean not on your own understanding.


Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Know God. Trust Him with all your heart for His ways are better than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Acknowledge Him in everything that we do. 

There’s a line in the song by Hillsong Worship, Season that really strikes  a chord in my heart,
"I can see the promise. I can see the future. You’re the God of seasons, I’m just in the winter."


Trust in His time! God is working something great in your life!

How Fitness Changed My Life

Image
We all know that the word fitness usually relates to having a well-toned chest, rock solid abs, chiseled biceps and titanic triceps. But what does fitness really means?  According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, fitness means   "The quality or state of being fit" s o it doesn't necessarily mean that it's all about physical appearance, it can also be our state of mind our mind, spiritual life and other aspects our lives. I started working out last 2016 and I can say that I learned a lot of things from it. Here are some of them 1) Action speaks louder than words. A lot of people will tell you "Magdidiet na nga ako eh" or "Next month magpupunta na ko sa gym" but in reality they never did. It will all come down to action, the more you act on it, the more you will see progress. 2) You don't cheat to win. Kagaya ng mga magjojowa, cheating is a big "no". You can not expect progress when you cheat. You will not ...

Panatang Makabayan

Image
"Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa." Panatang Makabayan, pinakabisado sa atin to mula elementarya hanggang hayskul. Napakaganda ng mensahe pero naisasapamuhay ba natin? Sa isip Nag-iisip pa ba tayo ng kapakanan ng ating bayan o sa pansariling interes na lang?  Maraming mga Pilipino na kapag nakakakita ng mga matatagumpay na kababayan nila ay madalas may mga negatibo pa rin silang nasasabi. Halimbawa na lamang ang pambansang kamao na si Manny Pacquiao, noong nasa rurok pa siya ng boksing ay sobrang daming sumusuporta sa kanya ngunit ngayon na humihina na siya, marami na siyang kritiko na maraming negatibong bagay na sinasabi sa kanya.  May mga kababayan din tayo na mas iisipin ang sarili kaysa sa bayan. Pinakamagandang halimbawa na lamang dito ay ang kwento ni Andres Bonifacio. Pinapatay ng kapwa Pilipino dahil may mga taong ganid sa kapangyarihan o mataas na posisyon na gustong alisin siya sa mataas na...

Know Yourself

Image
There is something that is rarely talked about in our day-to-day lives.   Self-awareness. How important is it? Imagine your soul got out of your body and you don't know you are, you don't know your name, height, your facial features, your address, and everything about you. For sure, you'll get lost, you will never find your way home because you don't know yourself. The pursuit of self-awareness is not a waste of time. In fact, it is truly worth it, it produces great results. People who are self-aware know their strengths, know their weaknesses. They know what will make their hearts on fire, and they also know what will make it cold and passive. These people are truly aware of what they are made of and what can they bring to the table.
