The Lord does not look for the qualified, but He qualifies those who are available. It is powerful reminder that it's not our qualifications that matter most to God, but our willingness to serve Him. This means that even if we don't think we have the knowledge to do something, God can still use us if we make ourselves available to Him. He can provide us with the necessary wisdom to fulfill His purposes. The story of Moses is a perfect example of this. Forget about qualifications, it's all about availability! If we’re willing to lend our time and talents to the Lord, He can take us from amateur hour to His all-star team. Just like Moses—he started as a shepherd and ended up leading the Israelites out of Egypt. It’s all about a career switch! The Lord can do the same for us, if we just make ourselves available and say 'I'm all in!' So let us not disqualify ourself from God's team by thinking we are not good enough. Let us get in the game, and He'll do the ...

  The saying 'Tell me and I'll know, teach me and I'll remember, involve me and I'll learn' emphasizes the importance of experiential learning. Hearing or reading information is a passive form of learning that may only result in temporary understanding. By contrast, active learning through teaching, practice, and experience can lead to deeper understanding and retention of knowledge. Involving students in hands-on learning activities allows them to apply knowledge and skills, making the learning process more engaging and effective. Think about it: 'tell' is a fleeting memory, 'teach' sticks around for a while, but 'involve' makes learning last a lifetime. The secret sauce to deep, lasting knowledge isn't just hearing or reading, it's getting in there, hands-on, making mistakes and learning from them. That's when you really start cooking with gas! So remember, for knowledge that sticks, don't just hear or read, get involved and...

  Loyalty. It's a word that carries weight. A bond that is tempered by love. In a world where instant gratification reign supreme, loyalty is a a precious commodity that's becoming increasingly hard to find. But when we do find it, we must guard it with our life. For loyalty is not something to be taken lightly. It is the bedrock upon which holds friendships and families together. Loyalty is the fuel that keeps relationships firing on all cylinders. In a world where people come and go like the wind, those who remain by our side through thick and thin are the ones worth keeping. So, hold on to our loyal ones, for they are worth their weight in gold. Think of loyalty as a compass. In a world where everyone seems to have their own agenda, it's easy to lose sight of who we are and what we stand for. But those who are loyal to us, who stick by our side through good times and bad, are like the North Star, guiding us back to ourself. So, lets us cherish our loyal friends, family, ...

Moral of the story: don’t let your circumstances steal your joy. It's easy to think that joy is dependent on our circumstances. That our happiness is tied to our possessions. But the book of Philippians, widely regarded as the happiest book in the Bible, offers a different perspective. Paul, the author of this book, was locked up, but his heart was free. Even from behind bars, his joy shone bright, proving that real happiness comes not from our circumstances, but from the strength of our faith. So, when life throws us into the pits, remember to look up and find joy in the Lord. As we read Philippians, we see that Paul's joy was rooted in his relationship with God and his purpose in life. He knew that his struggles were part of a greater plan, and he trusted in God's sovereignty. When we allow our joy to be dependent on external circumstances, we give power to those circumstances. But when we anchor our joy in God, we are resilient in the face of life's ups and downs. So...

  When the world tries to label you, remember this: God calls you His child, His beloved, His friend. When you open your Bible, you discover the truth of who you are in God's eyes. You are not defined by your mistakes nor your past. You are defined by the love, grace, and mercy of a God who knows you intimately. He created you and He has a plan for your life. When you turn to God's word, you find a beautiful picture of who you are meant to be. You are a light in the darkness. You are not defined by your failures, but by your faith. The world may try to knock you down, but the Word of God lifts you up. When the labels start to stick, remember: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are a child of God, chosen and beloved. Open the Bible and let the truth set you free. When people try to define you, remember that only God knows your true identity. Turn to his Word and let it guide you to your true self. Because in the end, it's not about what others call you. It's abo...

  Ang buhay ay maraming pagsubok. Minsan, tila hindi mo na kaya. Pero dapat alalahanin na ang Diyos ay nandyan para ibigay sa atin ang Kanyang mabuting Balita at proteksyon. Kailangan natin kumapit sa Kanyang salita upang hindi tayo malunod sa kalungkutan. Gayunpaman, minsan nakaliligtaan natin na ang salita ng Diyos ay kasangkapan natin sa paglaban sa mga pagsubok. Gumugulong ang mga pagsubok sa ating mga buhay, tulad ng mga ulap na bumabalot sa kalangitan. Ngunit laging may    araw na handang manatiling maliwanag. Ang salita ng Panginoon ay tulad ng isang batong tugon sa kabila ng pagsubok. Hindi siya maaaring mabasag ng bumabagsak na ulan. Ito ang batong papawi ng mga kalungkutan natin. Ito ang batong kailangan natin. At sa lahat ng mga pagsubok, makikita rin natin ang pag-asang naghihintay sa kabilang ulap.
