Bible verse of the day...James 4:17 (NIV)

Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. James 4:17 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

The bible has taught us many good things about God and the commandments we need to follow. However, many instances in our lives that we ignore these laws or deliberately disobey God's laws. In this verse, it says that if we do not do what we need to do as Christians we commit sin. Hence, we should try our very best to obey and do what is required of us to do to refrain from sinning against God.

Bible verse of the day...Psalm 56:3-4 (NIV)

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

It's normal for a man to be afraid. Many of us are afraid to die or afraid to face problems we encounter. But I think we should not be afraid because Jesus is always there with us. No matter how big or small our problems are, we have to trust God that He will not forsake us. I think no man could hurt us if our faith is strong and believe that help is always on the way in times we need it. I had an experience with a subordinate at work who was suffering from mental illness. As the head of the institution I had to protect everybody, so, I talked with this person until help arrives. It was very difficult because I knew every minute that I stayed with that person I could die or get hurt. But I prayed to Jesus not to leave me and keep me safe. I was so grateful to Him because He was there and I could feel His presence during that trying moment. It was amazing because that person had stayed calm for several hours while inside my office. I knew Jesus had been my shield all along and the Holy Spirit had gave me the wisdom to say the right words while making conversation. Therefore, we should not be afraid because our living God protects His children always.

Bible verse of the day...1 Peter 4:12-13 (NIV)

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:12-13 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

I think this is a very inspiring verse for me today because I'm going through a lot of health problems. There are many Christians around the world who are suffering from all sorts of pain or trials in life. But then, God is telling us that we should not despair because it's part of life. These things makes us stronger and we are able to share the pain or suffering we have with Jesus. We rely on Him and depend on Him for us to get through with it. God is always there to assist us and show us how wonderful or great He is.

Bible verse of the day...1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life , in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Young Christians can be models or examples in our churches or in the society. They can teach older believers of Christ some lessons . For instance, they could use decent speech during normal conversation with peers or do what God commands us to do. Many of them do great things and have sincere hearts in praising and worshiping God. It's really amazing to see these wonderful children of God serving in churches or using their skills for God's glory. So, being young gives more opportunity to help others in knowing and serving God.

Bible verse of the day...Proverbs 8:13 (NIV)

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. Proverbs 8:13 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

If we noticed now a days that there are so many words that are used by most people (young and old) that are inappropriate and not good to hear. Some curse others or God. Some find it common on this generation but if we fear the Lord we should refrain from doing evil or using perverted languages. We should try to humble ourselves in the eyes of God and we should not act arrogantly as if we are invincible. We are only human beings that our lives depend on God's mercy and grace. Therefore, we should do our best to take God's side and work hard to be worthy of eternal life.

Bible verse of the day... Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Our Almighty God and Savior Jesus Christ is a patient God. He is always ready to receive anyone who is willing to accept Him as his savior. There are many people around the planet who doesn't know Him or reject Him. But this verse is telling us that He will reach out for them and if anyone who will open his heart to Him, then, Jesus will be with him from the moment he receives Him. I hope everybody will accept God when they hear His voice because it is an honor to know Him and serve Him.

Bible verse of the day...Deuteronomy 30:16 (NIV)

For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. Deuteronomy 30:16 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Many bible verses tell us about loving our Lord God Almighty. I think that is the first thing we should do because by loving God we are able to obey His laws, commandments and decrees. When we follow Him, we become blessed. He showers us with abundant blessings, i.e. prosperous life, good health and long life. Wherever we go His blessings stay with us as long as we remain faithful to Him.
