2 Chronicles 20:12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You.
I am so happy with my QT. You see, I had restless sleeps during the weekend due to my brother's sitn (kev's gf is giving birth and kev has not saved any money). I was soooo pressured. And i pity my parents, at their age, they be enjoying their life na lang and shd be past such problems.
So before i went to sleep sunday nyt, i prayed real hard. I asked God to give me an answer to my sitn. That id expect upon waking up on monday that i know what to do.
When i opened my QT book, 2 Chronicles 20:12 was given to me.
It made me think... In the midst of a problem, where is my focus? On the problem? On myself? Or on God?
God is telling me to focus on Him alone. I am powerless with Kev's sitn and I don't know what to do so God is telling me to depend on Him.
Things in my life may seem to be going all wrong or i have no control anymore BUT God knows my circumstances better than I do.
yes, God I should have set my eyes on you....
I.T.
I must have deliberate acts of concentrating on Jesus and not allowing anything in between. Before I claim to be glorified and do things in God's power, I must have a knowledge of Him first. I must know Him.
There are plenty of things in this world which can bring us down but the only real thing is Jesus Christ.

DO SOMETHING
"Faith that does nothing is dead!" (James 2:26)
Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. God is always near and always available. Just waiting for your touch. So let him know. Demonstrate your devotion:
Write a letter.
Ask forgiveness.
Be baptized.
Feed a hungry person.
Pray.
Teach.
Go.
Do something that demonstrates faith. For faith with no effort is no faith at all. God will respond. He has never rejected a genuine gesture of faith. Never.
---He Still Moves Stones

SOLE PROVIDER, SOLE COMFORTER (from The Applause of Heaven)
As long as Jesus is one of my options, he is not an option.
As long as you can carry your burdens alone, you don't need a burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive no comfort. And as long as you can take Him or leave Hin, you might as well leave Him, because He won't be taken half-heartedly.
But when you mourn, when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins, when you admit that you have no other option but to cast all your cares on Him, and when there is truly no other name that you can call, then cast all your cares on Him, for He is waiting in the midst of the storm.

Amena Brown: Ressurection
What's AMPALAYA?
Ampalaya or bitter gourd is a vegetable which has a bitter taste but very high in nutrients and said to be good cure for anemics. For Christians, it is devotion, the essence of your faith - that which Christians almost never like. It is the reading and meditating on God's word. Our faith may be focused on good deeds and making the world a better place, but it is nothing without ampalaya.
