"bahala kna Lord"

“it was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give you.” – John 15:16

Cruise controls or auto pilot in cars and planes make it easier to travel long distances.

Just like our journey through life, we can trust that our cruise control – our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, will make our way smooth.

Reflection: Is your life messed up and too complicated? Simplify it. Go to Jesus!

Prayer: Jesus, you are the wind beneath my wings that make me sour over difficult situations.

  

The tagalog phrase “bahala kna Lord” (it's all up to you) seems simple but when you think about it, it’s a prayer of full trust isn't?

We put all our troubles in God hands and trust that no matter the situation He will see and help us through.

“bahala kna Lord… take control over all our worries, anxieties, daily stress and shortcomings, may we not let all these things put us down as we keep in mind that these trials, hurts, rejections and persecutions help refine us and mold us into a beautiful person who will be pleasing to You.Amen.

For all of this May God Be Praised!!!

to-do list

“yet I consider life of no importance to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the gospel of God” – Acts 20:24

If we can find it in ourselves to work extra hard to build successful careers and lucrative businesses, I’d bet that, like the apostle Paul who has traveled far and wide to spread the Gospel in spite of the inconveniences and dangers, we too could put in extra time,  effort and creativity into being witnesses for the Gospel every day – in our country, community, work places and homes. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to say we have run the good race and fought the good fight?

Reflection: What is the number one on your to-do list today? Is God in it?

Prayer: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, grant me the boldness and perseverance to proclaim Your Gospel today and every day of my life. Amen.

We are all missionaries called to spread the word of God. We should preach and proclaim. How does preach differ from proclaim?

By preaching we use words and proclaiming means we live it.

May we live our lives in such a way that we proclaim God’s goodness and victories in our lives.  Let’s make Him number one on our To-Do list.
