Bible verse of the day...Philippians2:14-15 (NIV)

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe. Philippians 2:14-15 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

It is best if we obey God's commandments even though it's tough. In our time today, we can see that there are so many deceptions and the enemy of God is working over time. We need to do what is just, righteous and pleasing in His eyes. There are many situations in our lives that we cannot understand why things happen. But like what this verse is saying let us do what is right without complaining because everything that is happening in our lives has a reason. We may not be able to see it at present but eventually we will see why things has to happen. We should not also conform with the ways of this world because we are God's people and we ought to follow Him always.

Bible verse of the day... Habakkuk 2:14 (NIV)

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Etymology of the word knowledge came from Middle English knowlege, from knowlechen to acknowledge, irregular form knowen. It is applicable to facts or ideas that are acquired by study, investigation, observation or experience.[from Merriam Webster Dictionary] Based on this definition, the verse speaks of knowledge that is revealed about God. We can never deny the existence of God and the commandments He gave us. It is sad to know that there are people who ridicule God or doesn't acknowledge His presence in their lives. But rather continue to do things that are not pleasing to Him. I pray that their hearts and minds be touched by God. So that they may see the wonders He has made and learn how to respect Him including the people and things He created.

Bible verse of the day...Joel 2:13 (NIV)

Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Joel 2:13 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Many times I failed the Lord and many times I have suffered the consequences of my actions. I have sinned against Him even in my thoughts especially when I'm upset or angry on something or at someone. But I regret it because I should be more patient and more understanding. Most of the time I asked Jesus to forgive me. This verse is telling us that we should return to God every time we fail or sin against Him. He is a forgiving God and doesn't want us to suffer because of our sinful ways. I hope all of us will be like Him, i.e. loving, forgiving, compassionate and slow in anger.

Bible verse of the day...Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

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. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

My reflection on the verse

This is my favorite verse of all time. There was a time when I was so depressed and doesn't really know what to do with my life. I saw this verse while I was on my way home. It was like God was talking to me because there were so many thoughts in my mind. I was confused and scared of what will happen tomorrow. I trusted God and every time I need strength and encouragement I look on to this verse. God is a great God. He let me out of depression and He gave me many blessings. He gave me gifts that I could not imagine having or receiving. He wanted me to move on and doesn't want me to worry. I trust Him and I will always hold on to His words.

Bible verse of the day...Proverbs 2:11 (NIV)

Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Proverbs 2:11 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

When speak of discretion, it means ability to make responsible decision or judgment and understanding means our ability to comprehend. The words protect and guard are synonymous. Having these in mind, Jesus is telling us that if we make sound decisions in life, whatever it might be, and understanding the circumstances of that decision it will spare us from harm. For instance, if I decided to stay faithful with God for the rest of life and obey His commandments, by time I die, I know I will be with Him in paradise. That decision would spare me from the fires of hell. This memory verse is an assurance that anyone who makes right or just decisions is protected from harm or ruin.

Bible verse of the day...Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advanced for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse


We are made and designed by God to do what is right and good. He knows that every man has a good side and is able to accomplish his mission in life. As Christians, we should always do what God commands us to do and be able to serve Him all the days of our lives. Doing good works includes loving our neighbors, helping others who are in need, praying for the sick & lost, and most of all proclaiming God's words to those who doesn't know Him. We are God's laborer, so, we should not fail Him no matter what.

Bible verse of the day...Habakkuk 2:9 (NIV)

" Woe to him who build his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin!" Habakkuk 2:9 (NIV)


My reflection of the verse


I think this verse is telling me that we should not think of personal gain or profit alone. We should always be just in whatever we do. We should be considerate of others and not to step on others just to be top. There are people who are greedy and wanted to have power, wealth and others. But I think these are all vanity. I can not bring any of that to my Father's house except the great things I did which gave honor and glory to His name.
