"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." Philippians 3:7-8 ESV
We read the Bible, we pray, we obey, we worship, we preach because of God. Meron pa bang mas mahalagang dahilan kesa sa Diyos? Wala na, sapagkat siya ang lahat-lahat para sa atin, kaya ang salita ng Diyos ang kailangan ding pagbulayan araw at gabi ng lahat sa atin, para ang salita ng Diyos ay makarating sa lahat ng dako ng mundo. Nawa’y ito ang maging hangarin ng puso ng bawat isa sa atin—ang Diyos higit sa lahat.
We all need this resolution, siyempre sa tulong ng Diyos: “Resolved to read all of God’s Word, to pray all of God’s Word, to find comfort in all of God’s Word, and to obey all of God’s Word.” Bakit? Because you need all of God for all of life.
The more sufferings we have, sapat na excuse ba yun for us to spend less time in the Word and prayer, para mabawasan ang commitment natin sa Panginoon? No, hangga’t nadaragdagan pa nga ang mga sufferings natin, nadaragdagan din ang reasons na meron tayo – the more we need God, the more we need to pray, the more we need to listen to his Word.
We have a lot of resources, giving you a lot of opportunities to be engaged with the Word everyday. Ang tanong sa ‘yo personally ay ito: What are you going to do about it? Magpapatuloy ka ba to make lame excuses na paulit-ulit mo namang sinasabi just to ease your guilt of not reading the Bible and praying enough?
