Bible verse of the day...Mark 11:22 (NIV)

Have faith in God, Jesus answered. Mark 11 : 22 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

There are many meanings of the word "faith". But I think the appropriate meaning for me in relation with this verse is that faith is a belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. In this verse, Jesus is telling us that we should have a faith in Him, do something about that faith and remain faithful to Him at all times.

Bible verse of the day...Revelation 1:8 (NIV)

I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

God is an everlasting God. He is the beginning and the end. I think He will never change and would always be a loving creator. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I pray that many would love, worship, praise, glorify, and respect our Lord God Almighty.

Bible verse of the day...John 3:3 (NIV)

In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. John 3:3 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Jesus is telling us that we should be born again so that we could enter His kingdom. It means that we should change our sinful ways by completely changing oneself to a new person and should live according to God's words. It can also mean that we should be baptize in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit through water baptism. I think this verse is simply saying that we should be a new creation to be worthy of God's kingdom.

Bible verse of the day...Exodus 31:15 (NIV)

For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. Exodus 31:15 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

God wants us to observe sabbath because it is obvious that He made everything for six days and rested on the seventh day. He set an example so we could do the same. We can't be working for seven days but we should spend one day for the Lord. It means that every sabbath day we should go to our churches for worship service, attend bible studies, prayer meetings, and other activities that would strengthen our relationship with Jesus and also with the members of the church. It is great to start the week with full of inspiration and energy from our Almighty God.

Bible verse of the day...Philippians 3:17 (NIV)

Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. Philippians 3:17 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

There were so many prophets, martyrs, and faithful followers of Jesus who came before us. They observed and followed Christ's example in their daily lives. Most of them even sacrificed their lives for His sake. This verse tells us that we should do what God is telling us to do and by doing so we become worthy of eternal life.

Bible verse of the day...Colossians 3:12 (NIV)

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

We are God's children and we should follow this commandment. He is telling us that we should be compassionate. It means we should be sympathetic or merciful of others. We should also be kind, meaning helpful or of a forbearing nature. We need to be humble, meaning not proud or arrogant. We have to be gentle which means free from violence or harshness. Lastly, we should be patient meaning we should be able to bear pain or trial without complaining.

Bible verse of the day...1 Peter 5:10 (NIV)

The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

I had my ups and downs and even suffered depression for quite a while. I was asking God how will I cope up with everything that had happened. But God has been good to me and I was able to move on. I have recovered and went back on track. It was all because of Jesus. He became the source of my strength and hope. He helped me get through with everything and He never fails.
