Sa Kanyang Tamang Panahon

Landscape image of God's perfect timing in nature

“Kaniyang ginawa ang bawa’t bagay na maganda sa kapanahunan niya: inilagay rin naman niya ang kawalang-hanggan sa kanilang puso, na anopa’t hindi matatalos ng tao ang gawaing ginawa ng Dios mula sa pasimula hanggang sa wakas.”
– Ecclesiastes 3:11

May mga pagkakataong parang napakabagal ng panahon. Tulad ng isang magsasakang naghihintay ng ani, tayong mga mananampalataya ay natutuksong mainip at magduda sa plano ng Diyos. Sa mga sandaling iyon, tila bang wala Siyang ginagawa, ngunit sa katotohanan, ang bawat segundo ay bahagi ng Kanyang dakilang layunin.

Ang teksto mula sa Eclesiastes ay nagpapaalala sa atin na ang Diyos ay gumagawa ng lahat ng bagay na maganda—hindi ayon sa ating orasan, kundi ayon sa Kanyang tamang panahon. Ang kawalang-hanggan ay inilagay sa ating puso, kaya't may pagnanasa tayong maintindihan ang kabuuan ng plano ng Diyos. Ngunit, hindi ito para sa atin na maunawaan nang buo. Sa halip, tayo'y tinatawag upang magtiwala at maghintay.

Paglalapat

Kung ikaw ay naghihintay—sa kagalingan, trabaho, katuparan ng isang panalangin—alalahanin mong ang Diyos ay hindi nahuhuli. Ang Kanyang panahon ay laging wasto at puno ng layunin. Habang naghihintay ka, lumalim ka sa panalangin, sa Salita, at sa pananampalataya.

"Ang pananampalataya ay hindi lamang pagtitiwala sa Diyos sa kabutihan, kundi maging sa Kanyang takdang panahon."

Dalangin:
Panginoon, sa gitna ng aking paghihintay, palakasin Mo ako. Turuan Mo akong magtiwala sa Iyong takdang panahon. Alisin Mo ang aking pangamba, at palitan ito ng kapayapaan na nagmumula sa Iyong mga pangako. Sa Ngalan ni Jesus, Amen.

The God Who Holds Tomorrow

The God Who Holds Tomorrow – Devoted in Grace The God Who Holds Tomorrow In uncertain times—amid headlines filled with wars, economic downturns, and rising anxieties—many struggle with fear of the unknown. We often ask, "What does tomorrow hold?" But Scripture points us beyond that question to the One who *holds* tomorrow. Isaiah 46:9–10 (KJV) “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” The Lord reminds us that He alone declares the end from the beginning. Nothing takes Him by surprise. His purposes are not merely good ideas; they are sovereign decrees. When we grasp this, fear gives way to rest, and anxious striving yields to trusting surrender.

Stand Still and See His Salvation | Spurgeon Morning and Evening - July 24

Morning Devotion – July 24 “Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” — Exodus 14:13 (KJV) These words contain God’s command to the believer when he is reduced to great straits and brought into extraordinary difficulties. He cannot retreat; he cannot go forward; he is shut up on the right hand and on the left; what is he now to do? The Master’s word to him is, “Stand still.” It will be well for him if at such times he listens only to his Master’s word, for other and evil advisers come with their suggestions. Despair whispers , “Lie down and die; give it all up.” But God would have us put on a cheerful courage, and even in our worst times, rejoice in his love and faithfulness. Cowardice says , “Retreat; go back to the worldling’s way of action; you cannot play the Christian’s part, it is too difficult. Relinquish your principles.” But, however much Satan may urge this course upon you, you cannot follow it if you ...

Cause Me to Hear Thy Lovingkindness in the Morning – Psalm 143:8

Verse of the Day – Psalm 143:8 Verse of the Day – Psalm 143:8 “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” — Psalm 143:8 (KJV) Morning is a sacred time—quiet, unspoiled, and full of potential. In this psalm, David voices a prayer we all need: to begin each day with the assurance of God's steadfast love and divine direction. The verse is not merely poetic; it’s a deep soul-cry from one who knows his utter dependence on God. God's “lovingkindness” isn’t a passing emotion. It’s His covenantal mercy—unfailing, active love rooted in His promises. When we ask to hear of it “in the morning,” we are choosing to start our day centered on God's grace rather than our fears or agendas. And when we ask to “know the way wherein [we] should walk,” we are acknowledging that we d...
