9.23.2009 - God Will Make a Way

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
You lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today

I Love this song... because there are so many times when i feel like nothing can be done and nothing is going my way, but if it's in God's will. God will make a way for us. he will lead us through suffering and anything. God is our God and he will show us where to go and where to be. He is the most awesome God.

These are the song when i listen to it... im sure Godw ill show where we need to be where we need to go.

9.22.2009 - Romans 5:3-4

“Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.” - Romans 5:3-4

Some times we tend to complain to God always about suffering. Why God why? life is so hard... why? We don't see the big picture God is drawing us and we tend to jump into conclusion of God just hates us.

In long run hardship gives us so much. It's not a great feeling for us in the first run but sometimes we just need to go through these experiences to learn from it. If we do something stupid and God makes us suffer and things that means to not do it again so that we won't do it again, but as human we are, we will keep doing it over and over again, but God loves us... Suffering produces perserance...

Perseverance, Character, and hope. those are very important things we need to learn and we need to have in life.

9.20.2009 - 1 Chronicles 20:1-8

1	In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, Joab led out the armed forces. He laid waste the land of the Ammonites and went to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and left it in ruins.
2	David took the crown from the head of their king--its weight was found to be a talent of gold, and it was set with precious stones--and it was placed on David's head. He took a great quantity of plunder from the city
3	and brought out the people who were there, consigning them to labor with saws and with iron picks and axes. David did this to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.
4	In the course of time, war broke out with the Philistines, at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaites, and the Philistines were subjugated.
5	In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod.
6	In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot--twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha.
7	When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
8	These were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.

I love reading about King David.
These verses talk about battles that King David went through and how he gave all his glory to God and good things happened. His men had to fight someone who had 6 fingers and 6 toes. that's crazy... but because David believes in God and lives for him he prevails like usual.

So what's so big deal about these big battles? no one really goes around killing people or run around with big spears... well everyday of our lives are spiritual battle. we gain and lose as we go... so we gotta keep on fighting the battle and even though there are many things that set us back and there are many times and opportunity to regain the land.

With God by our side we can never surrender because God is amazing and he will prevail, so let's put our trust in him and fight the battle.

9.19.2009 - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (picture)

⁷We live by faith, not by sight. - 2 Corinthians 5:7

This is a concept that is very important for us Christians. i once saw my friend's church make a romance movie with God in it and how this generation is so based on love that is about seeing each other and touching each other. we all have a first person thing and if we feel like no one is doing anything about us. we will easily forget about God.

let's not forget about God and let's live on by faith not by sight... or touch

9.17.2009 - Philippians 2:3-4

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or

vain conceit, but in humility consider

others better than yourselves. Each of

you should look not only to your own

interests, but also to the interests of others.” - Philippians 2:3-4

I think there are many times when i feel like i don't consider other people's feelings but care about my own interest more than others. Even God tells us that we should consider others better than ourselves. and there are just so much challeneges that i go through as a praise leader or just as a person in life. just a fellow christian that are running the same race as any other christians out there. sometimes i do better, sometimes i do worse. and in these time of hard ship or just tests i just think i just gotta believe in God and be stronger.

I need to learn to think about others before me. I need to be more patient and learn to say things at the right time. I feel like i'm just a failure being complete not understanding person. as i grow in Christ. I need to learn to understand other people's interest and live my life not for myself but for others. and i will learn to live life for Christ.

9.10.2009 - Psalm 121:1-2

“[A song of ascents.] I lift up my eyes
to the hills— where does my help come
from? My help comes from the LORD, the
Maker of heaven and earth.”- Psalm 121:1-2

This blog for me is weird... because i tend to do my own quiet time this space is for me to share to others about God... but today it's gonna be different...

Today this blog is about me... about how sinful i have been lately... it is said to rely on God and God only. Life is so confusing. sometimes we need to believe in ourself. sometimes we need to believe in others (team mates). i was watching a japanese drama today and i saw a scene where a guy hits a triple in baseball and he could only wait for his friend to hit the single to get him home... (although his friend struck out) just shows how much in life there are times to rely on others.

I feel like i have been living my life... and that's not good. I have been just living my life. There are so many times when it's so easy to forget about God. its painful to see that it's so easy to do so, but it's true.

I want to take this time to say sorry to God... i want God to be center of my life once again... i need God in my life. My only power comes from Jesus and As i live my life i need to have God with me...

9.7.2009 - Psalm 143:10

“Teach me to do your will, for you

are my God; may your good Spirit

lead me on level ground.”- Psalm 143:10

This verse shows the prayer we should be giving to God. Teach us to do your will God. Teach us to do your will... that is just so important. so many years of our lives we live for ourselves and we don't care about God. We don't live for him. But it's so important for us to live for Christ. We need to live based on God's will. God is what we live towards and for..

Lets be less selfish and pray to God and ask him to lead us... to do your wills...

9.6.2009 - John 14:23

“Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me,
he will obey my teaching. My Father
will love him, and we will come to him
and make our home with him.”- John 14:23

This verse talks about God and Jesus making home with us... i think that is just something that we need to hear. soemthing that is just so hard but so easy to say is to love God. there is just so much more to loving someone then just to say that you love someone. just like when you love someone in this life. you can't just love someone... when you love someone you tend to buy someone gifts or anything. i think for eros if we're willing to do so much for someone i think if you really love God in a way God loves us. we should be doing so much more for God.

sometimes i feel like we're just so incomplete without God. we are nothing without God and we need to love him and if we obey Jesus's Teaching.. only good will come to us because God will be with us.

9.5.2009 - you said...

you said... by shane & shane

this song has been always been close to my heart. you said ask and you will receive whatever you need... just the whole song just makes me want to try more and more to be a better christian. it just makes me realize how powerful prayer is and that we should be praying... constantly... we should be seeking God constantly... God is the one that makes us strong God is someone who would give us strength... God promised us so much glory and i think if we're willing to do the work... God will provide...

God is strong... and he will prevail... and in him we will be strong...

9.3.2009 - Isaiah 48:17

“This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
"I am the LORD your God, who teaches
you what is best for you, who directs
you in the way you should go.”- Isaiah 48:17

God the ultimate teacher

sometimes we complain about our leaders or our pastor or pastor figures because you don't agree with what they teach. Sometimes we forget that it's not important for the fact that the pastor figure is there.. something that is more important is that God is our teacher and pastor figures are just there to deliver the message to us. sometimes it gets delivered better then other times but it's important to see that God is the great teacher. the ultimate teacher. Lord is powerful and he will lead us the right way.

"I am the lord your God, who teachers you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go" that's just a powerful words showing that God is the only way.
