A Glimpse of Me

There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise:
Ants—they aren’t strong,
but they store up food all summer.
Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful,
but they make their homes among the rocks.
Locusts—they have no king,
but they march in formation.
Lizards—they are easy to catch,
but they are found even in kings’ palaces.

Proverbs 30:24–28

Apply these characteristics of wisdom in order to any venture to become successful. Ants display foresight. They work at the proper time to prepare in the proper way for the future. Hyraxes (rock badgers, perhaps) are not themselves powerful, but they put themselves in an environment that provides the natural protection they lack. Locusts are organized, another essential for success. And lizards are fearless in choosing their environment. So to live wisely, you need foresight and planning, you should partner with those people and environments that possess what you lack, you need to be organized, and you should not let fear of your own limitations hold you back.

the sermon at church today was quite refreshing. although i didn’t hear everything the preacher said, but i got a bit of pieces here and there. the main thing he pointed out was our prayer life. when we have problems, we should go straight on prayer to God. sometimes, we do the talking more than praying. we share our problems to our friends, to other people or even to our psychiatrist and we could talk for hours. he reminded us that instead of talking why don’t we pray about it. 4 hours of talking versus 4 hours of praying makes a lot of difference.

i agree… sometimes, we talk more to others more than we talk to God about our cares in life. sometimes what we get from talking to others is even worse as sometimes the people we talk to misjudge us or even make conclusions without digging the real problem first. sometimes, they even offer solution.s but you know what, when we talk to God, He won’t judge us, He doesn’t have to dig the problem because He would know that even before we open our mouths and best of all, He offers the best solution!

it is indeed an encouragement to hear such message! but of course, we need to have friends to talk to. just  don’t depend on them too much.

OMGosh! This is truly amazing. Andrea Bocelli, tagged as having the most beautiful voice in the world, had a duet with charice pempengcon, a 16-year old filipino girl. I found this out only after I discovered the news about Celine Dion – Charice Pempengco duet. This is a must watch video.

The LORD always keeps his promises;
he is gracious in all he does.
The LORD helps the fallen
and lifts those bent beneath their loads. …
The LORD is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.
The LORD is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth.
He grants the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues them.

Psalm 145:13–14, 17–19
