"Now, I know there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel." - 2 Kings 5:15

In today's devotional in our Our Daily Bread, Julie Ackerman Link tells us that God often speaks to through those to whom few are willing to listen. 

To hear God, listen to the humble because God uses ordinary people to carry our his extraordinary plan.

Inspiration: It Can Never Happen to Me

"Now in my prosperity I said, 'I shall never be moved.'" 

- Psalm 30:6

There are times when we look at the troubles of others and think it could never happen to us, especially if we are successful, financially comfortable, and enjoying marital bliss. In a moment of vanity and self-sufficiency or whether God has brought blessings or trials, He still deserves our gratitude and trust. 

Lonesome Moments and Well-lived Lives

It's All Saints' Day and it's gonna be a hectic day for me. But over a cup of coffee (sugar-free, that is), I have come to ponder that really, our lives aren't meant to be spent for ourselves, but rather it's intended that we spend it for others.

Come to think of this...

When we were infants and toddlers and kids, we were too young to care for ourselves, too young to care for what we wear, say, or what others say about us.... Simply put, when we were young, we were in the purest of our innocence that all we have in mind is how to care for others.

When we went to school, we didn't really have the luxury of time to hang out as often as we want to, such that we ended up moaning and groaning because we live a fully-packed school life.

When we started to have work, our obligations begin to mount... and so our dependents. We were too busy at work, building our careers, sending our siblings to schools and helping out our parents.

Then, we realize it's time to settle down, get married, and raise a family. Again, no time to think for ourselves, but put our partners and kids first, thinking of how to live them, send them to school, clothe them, shelter them, and raise them to become better people.

Then, it's time to retire, time to send away kids, time to see them raise their own families, time to say good bye to our parents, and time to lose our loved ones.

And then, that's the time when we are one and alone. That's the time when we ponder on what we did with our lives. At the end of the day, at the sunset of lives, we come to realize that the best moments of our lives aren't actually about partying or foolin' around. The greatest moments of our lives are those when we spend it with our loved ones, and give our times for others.

In our most lonesome moments, that is when we realize that our lives are well-lived because we spend it for the sake of others.

Blessings Do Come in Disguise

There are times when we come to think that all the world has turned its back against us and all we are left of is ourself. At times like this, we come to think that the blessings we ask for are actually curse and all that we have in  this world are all the worst. But let us not question God's power. I have recently stumbled upon Laura Story's carrier single, Blessings. And it was all about... blessings! She's been going through a lot in life. Her husband's gotten brain tumor and yet, she still finds that curse a blessing.

As I see it, actually, the trials and tribulations that we meet in life are not something to be afraid or, or to curse at. Actually, all the pain and misfortune that we meet are God's way of saying He's here for us. It's actually a message telling us that we are not alone, that we always have friends, family, and Him whom we can turn on to when we can't bear it all. 

Blessings are not just what we see as good, bountiful, or pleasing. Blessings also come in disguise. They can be illness, death, tragedy, or misfortune. But through it all, we find that the true meaning of blessing lingers. And that is to make us even better than who we have been.
