Kung may problema man tayo at nahihirapan, hindi ibig sabihin ay iniwan na tayo ng Diyos. When we feel like our lives are falling apart, God is the one keeping us together. And when we put our trust in Him, we can have peace even in the midst of troubles. Mahal tayo ng Diyos;All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

In the same way, God, our Heavenly Father, corrects us when we are wrong, especially when we hurt others. His discipline may feel harsh at times, but it's always driven by love. Like a sculptor chiseling away at a block of marble, God shapes us into His masterpiece, one correction at a time.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Isn't it amazing? Just imagine, tinatawag tayo ng Creator ng universe bilang mga anak Niya.

In the Old Testament, men used altars for animal sacrifices and burnt offerings to dedicate themselves to the Lord. They needed to come clean before approaching the Holy God.

We need to undergo training and practice with God Himself as trainer. Sa journey ng pag-abot sa pangarap we all need wisdom, at ang wisdom na iyon ay hindi basta-basta natututunan.

Bago ka magtaka kung bakit pati tao ay sinangla, this has to do with dedicating oneself or someone, like a baby, to the Lord for sanctuary work. Hindi naman kailangang magsilbi ang lahat sa santuwaryo, kaya maaaring tubusin ang mga ito based on the set values. But the monetary values did not correspond to the actual value of a man and a woman in God's sight for He loved all of them.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Gaya ba ng mga taga-Jerusalem noon — at ni Honey — ay parang madilim ang iyong paligid? Nawawalan ka na ba ng pag-asa? Tinatanong mo rin ba sa Diyos kung kailan ka mapo-promote sa trabaho?

Kaya sa araw-araw na nakikinig, nagbabasa o nanonood tayo sa iba't ibang platforms,  why not consider switching to Bible-based content na social media handles, series, videos? Or listening to worship songs or Christian podcasts? Consider reading Bible-based writings and books to help you understand God's Word deeper. Or simply setting a regular time and place to read the Bible or listen to the audio Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you meditate on His Word.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God's command to honor our father and mother does not imply that we should tolerate, accept, or enable abuse. At siyempre, hindi rin naman kalooban ni Lord na forever na lang tayong stuck sa trauma, resentment, and unforgiveness. Author Christopher R. Smith once shared, “You are not honoring them if you make yourself available to them to continue acting in a way so contrary to God's intentions.”All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Ano ang pangako sa iyo ng Diyos mula sa Salita Niya? Kung hindi mo pa alam, inaanyayahan ka Niya na alamin ito at kilalanin Siya by reading the Bible.

Sabi ni Lord 'yan ha!All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Israel was God's chosen nation, but they acted foolishly many times. Despite the provision and privilege given to them, they disobeyed and doubted God. You see this in the book of 1 Samuel when they lost the battle with the Philistines. Instead of seeking God, they decided to take matters into their own hands. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

“Di naman sa pag-aano, pero …” Naku, eto na naman po siya, tahimik na sambit ni Norma sa sarili. Tuwing ganito ang simula ng pananalita ng kanyang kaibigang si Tess, alam na ni Norma ang kasunod.

Some basic rules we were taught as children include falling in line, waiting for our turn, and sharing our things.

In life, we cannot avoid situations where people may insult us. But instead of getting angry or returning hurtful words, we are called by God to show love and humility.
