Bible verse of the day...1John 2:22 (NIV)

Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist -- he denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22 (NIV)

My reflection of the day

It is sad to know that there are people who deny Jesus as the Messiah. Many say different things about Him like a prophet or something else. But Jesus is our Lord and Savior. He died for our sins and sacrificed Himself for us. He gives life to all who believe in Him. He is the eternal God and Mighty King. He will come back and I pray that when that time comes many are saved.

Bible verse of the day...Romans 12:16 (NIV)

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Romans 12:16 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

It is good to see people living peacefully with one another. I admire a community which its members help each other during calamities or such. God says in this verse that we must not be proud of who we are but rather we must be able to mingle with our brothers who are less fortunate than us. It is a good feeling when we spend time with friends or fellow brothers and helping them out in time of need. A humble heart makes God happy and He gives abundant blessings to the person who owns it.

Bible verse of the day...Proverbs 29:23 (NIV)

A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. Proverbs 29:23 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

On whatever circumstance in life, I think man should be humble with his fellow being and especially to God. We won't gain anything when we are proud and arrogant. Man should not forget that whatever he owns or have acquired comes from our Almighty God. Hence, we have no right to be proud.

Bible verse of the day...Psalm 71:8 (NIV)

My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long. Psalm 71:8 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Our mouths and tongues should be used for praising God and proclaiming all the wonderful things He has done. There are times that we simply forget that and sometimes when we are angry we used it to say bad things toward other people or about life in general. In this verse God reminds us to use our mouth properly and wisely.

Bible verse of the day...Romans 13:9 (NIV)

The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Romans 13:9 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

God gave us the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and this verse mentioned them again. However, God says that loving our neighbor is an important law and we should remember it always. I think when we love our neighbors, we can't hurt them by committing all these crimes, i.e. adultery, murder, stealing and others. Further, when we love someone we always try to do what is right and pleasing to him / her. Hence, loving others like we love ourselves is a good thing for us and also to God.

Bible verse of day...John 15:16 (NIV)

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. John 15:16 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Jesus is telling us that He has chosen us to serve Him and wanted us to do something good that would glorify His name.There are many ways to do great things for God. One of them is helping others to be near Him. For instance, we can invite others to go to church with us especially members of the family or our friends. I think when we do that we are bearing fruit that will last because if we gain one or more soul for God who will commit sincerely to Him, God will be pleased. Jesus also said that whatever we ask in His name His father in heaven will give it. Therefore, when we ask Him something, then, we should know that He has already given us what we have prayed for.

Bible verse of the day...Jeremiah 32:17 (NIV)

"Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." Jeremiah 32:17 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

There are many things that we can't do in life. Sometimes we can't even think any possible solution to a problem. But we must remember that our Almighty God is the God of the impossible. What is impossible with man is possible with God. Most of the people from around the world now a days suffer financially. But God is faithful and continue to shower His blessings on us daily.Some may not have much but enough to sustain them daily. There are also many people sick with cancer and other illness. Like in my family, four of my aunts have cancer and on cancer treatment. But I could say that we are still blessed because God uses others as instruments to help them get through with it, i.e. doctors and nurses who help them in their treatments and many organizations who support cancer patients. What I'm saying here is that, no matter how hopeless our situation might be, we just have to trust God for His mercy and grace. He can do anything for us provided we believe in Him.
