Jan 29 - Mark 9:35

“Sitting down, Jesus called the
Twelve and said, "If anyone wants
to be first, he must be the very last,
and the servant of all.”- Mark 9:35

there was this movie called "talladega nights" where it
said... "your first or last..." and the point of the movie is
how stupid phrase is. When you think you are the best
and you think you are everything... people become selfish
and people think that they are just the amazing...

God is so necessary in our life... just to keep ourselves down
to keep ourselves humble... i think everything in this life
is about being nice to others and giving back to others...
i think in a normal concept of christianity and things like
that... we should have a really good society but we are human
and we fail to live the life that we should...

i fail to live the life that i should... and it's hard....

Jan 27 - Ephesians 6:12-13

“For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the
full armor of God, so that when the day of
evil comes, you may be able to stand your
ground, and after you have done everything,
to stand.”- Ephesians 6:12-13

we struggle... we struggle against the world. when
i can't think of things i need to do for projects... or
when i can't think of anything to write for my
paper... we struggle... we struggle against many
things but God is to reassure us that he is our armor
and he is our God..

more and more i look at myself i am struggling
constantly... maybe cold maybe just sickness and
maybe just everything around me in this world but
i think for being a Christian... it's more important for
us to... give our all to us and believe in that and that
only... God is our armor and he will prevail and he
will win... so let's trust in God alone...

Jan 26 - James 4:10

“Humble yourselves before the Lord,
and he will lift you up.”- James 4:10

Jan 25 - 1 Corinthians 4:10-13

10We are fools for Christ, but you are so
wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are
strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!
11To this very hour we go hungry and
thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally
treated, we are homeless. 12We work
hard with our own hands. When we are
cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted,
we endure it; 13when we are slandered, we
answer kindly. Up to this moment we have
become the scum of the earth, the refuse
of the world.

Christians are different in this world... we are not
treated the same because we shouldn't act the same.
i know i can be so guilty of acting like I'm blending in
the world and not being a good christian.

i feel like sometimes i act like someone who doesn't know
God... there are sometimes when i just get angry and
uncontrollable. this verse shows me that we need to be
active and different...

we need to endure and become stronger christian

Jan 24 - Philippians 4:10-13

“10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last
you have renewed your concern for me.
Indeed, you have been concerned, but you
had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not
saying this because I am in need, for I have
learned to be content whatever the
circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in
need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content in
any and every situation, whether well fed or
hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13I can do everything through him who gives
me strength.”- Philippians 4:10-13

This verse is talking about just that God is here...
We can do anything in God's name... through him
nothing is impossible.

I thank God everyday to know this. i do things and
sometimes i fail and sometimes i miraculously have
something that succeed and it's incredible. sometimes
it's really like God's really there and that God will
prevail no matter what.

God challenge us constantly to grow and it's our job to
live through and stick with it. God only gives us amount
of food that we can chew. and God is amazing...

this shows that if you believe in Jesus... great things will
happen to you... so let's trust in him....

Jan 18 - Matthew 7:12

“So in everything, do to others
what you would have them do
to you, for this sums up the Law
and the Prophets.”- Matthew 7:12

there is a saying.. treat other as you'd like to
be treated. this verse say exactly that i think.
this shows that God shows that what we should
treat others....

in the Lord's prayer it is said that forgive our debts
as we forgive others. i think this passage applies to
God to us and us to us. there is so much more thing to
be around someone and sometimes you treat someone
really bad and is it really fair for everyone to treat you
like a king or a queen.

sometimes i complain about how someone treat me so
badly. i'll say that it's unfair and if i really think about it
i treat some people really badly too... and they are probably
thinking the same...

so at the end... to make a difference... be nice... and people
will be nicer to you

Jan 17 - 1 Corinthians 10:13

“No temptation has seized you 

except what is common to man. 

And God is faithful; he will not 

let you be tempted beyond what 

you can bear. But when you are 

tempted, he will also provide a 

way out so that you can stand 

up under it.”- 1 Corinthians 10:13

This verse reminds me of SAW the movie.

in the movie jigsaw is a serial killer that 

wants to make a world a better place by 

judging the people... but he always leaves

a way to get out of the trap. 

i mean i am not directly comparing God to

a made up serial killer but like many things

When people are in control there is many flaw

points. 

there are many things people like us make and

it's suppose to be perfect but there is always 

corruption and other things that makes it not 

the perfect law system it is. 

God is the perfect system and he won't throw

things at us that are too big for us to catch

so when God throws lemons at you... you have 

to learn from your bad times and be more thankful

that God wants us to grow.

God always wants us to grow and he makes us better

as time goes and he makes sures that we don't 

fall away. 

note to myself... Love God and trust in him always...
