John 14:23
“Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him…"
-----------------------------------------------------
Filipinos are starting to feel the effect of El Nino in the Philippines. Water levels in our dams are getting lower and lower that creates power generation problems. And then the brownouts (or temporary power outages) are happening across the country. And in this modern world, brownouts could mean “shutting down” our lives as we are very dependent on things that runs in electricity.
In our spiritual lives, we also frequently experience brownouts. We experience this spiritual darkness. As such, we are totally blinded by our sins and totally ignored what the Lord wills for us to do. On one level, darkness is promoted by spiritual forces under the leadership of Satan. On a human level, darkness is not only the absence of knowledge, but a personal and active opposition to the rule and truth of God.
We need to fuel our lives with the words of God. For the words of God fuels love in our hearts that powers our love for others. Start your day by filling-up with His Words by reading the Bible and contemplating on His words. And the wisdom we gain can bring out calmness in our hearts as we go through the challenges of the day.
Wisdom and peace always go together, for the wisdom of God always creates right relationship since God Himself is a triune communion of holy love. Let us perfect our lives by seeking the wisdom and peace coming from God. It is heavenly, spiritual and God-centered. “And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, we pray that inner peace will be found by all individuals so that the peace we dream of, we speak of and pray for will have a chance. As in times past, we will work together to recover from our shared national tragedy. We pray together for those who have lost loved ones. We seek Your wisdom so we may understand everything. Amen+
O God, let all the nations praise you!
