Bible verse of the day...Lamentations 2:22-23 (NIV)

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 2:22-23 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

God has always been faithful to us and everyday we receive His mercy. Despite our imperfections His love for us never ceases. We are very blessed because we have a living and true God who sincerely take care of us and provide our needs. I'm happy He created me and loves me.

Bible verse of the day... Psalm 139: 23-24 (NIV)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

There are times that I want the Lord to help me live the right way of living. I'm only human and commits mistakes just like everybody else. However, during the time of reflection I asked Him to lead me to the right path. If I'm not doing the right thing, I want him to correct me, so, that I could be worthy of His blessings. I imagine myself walking on a road and instead of walking on the straight path, sometimes, I go to the left or to the right. At that point in my life, I asked God to help me walk on the right path to avoid from sinning or making mistakes before Him.

Bible verse of the day...Psalm 3:8 (NIV)

From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessings be on your people. Psalm 3:8 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Our God always rescues us from harm or save us in times of great trouble. I think He has done that to everybody. For instance, in cases of emergency, God aids us by using someone who could help us. It's also another way of showering His blessing upon us.

Bible verse of the day...Mark 8:34-35 (NIV)

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." Mark 8:34-35 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Jesus is telling us that if we are to follow Him we should forget about our worldly desires and make sacrifices for His sake. Following Him is not easy because it requires a lot of patience, faith, courage, and love. God is also saying that if we give up our lives for Him, He will provide us with abundant blessings and surely He will give us an everlasting life.

Bible verse of the day... Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

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

My reflection of the verse


We should always trust Jesus every day of our lives. Everything in this world is unpredictable and anything can happen with us. Problems may arise and sometimes we become hopeless. But God is a merciful God. He always makes a way and every time He gives us a favor or answers our prayer we should acknowledge Him always. We can not trust ourselves only and believe that we can do everything. No we can't. It's only God who can make the impossible and I truly believe that because He has done great miracles in my life. I praise and thank Jesus for everything He has done for me. To God be the glory !

Bible verse of the day...1 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV)

You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarrelling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men? 1 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

God doesn't want us to hate each other or fight with each other. We should be considerate of others and should know how to accept our faults. We won't benefit anything if we continue to hate each other. I think this is what the entire verse is all about.

Bible verse of the day...Matthew 3:1-2 (NIV)

In those days John the Baptist came...saying, "Repent , for the kingdom of heaven is near. Matthew 3:1-2 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Since the time of John the Baptist, he was telling everybody to repent from our sins. We always sin against God, hence, we should always ask forgiveness every time we disobey His commandments. Jesus will be coming soon and we should be ready all the time. We don't want to be left behind, so, we should be prepared always.
