Mendoakan & Mengerjakan

Saya Siap

Renungan ini diambil dari e-Renungan Harian. Saya tahu mungkin sudah agak lama dan mungkin sudah banyak yang membacanya, tetapi saya terdorong untuk membagikannya dengan teman-teman semua. Saya selalu bersyukur karena Tuhan selalu memberkati orang-orang yang membaca, merenungkan dan melakukan FirmanNya.

Bacaan : Efesus 3:14-21

Aku berdoa, supaya kamu bersama-sama dengan semua orang kudus dapat memahami, betapa lebarnya dan panjangnya dan tingginya dan dalamnya kasih Kristus (Efesus 3:18)

Pray and Keep Praying


Keep on praying

But I keep praying to you, LORD, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation.
Psalm 69:13, NLT

 

What problems David faced! He was scoffed at, mocked, insulted, humiliated, and made the object of citywide gossip. But still he prayed.

When we are completely beaten down, we are tempted to turn from God, give up, and quit trusting him. When your situation seems hopeless, determine that no matter how bad things become you will continue to pray. God will hear your prayer, and he will rescue you. When others reject us, we need God most. Don’t turn from your most faithful friend.

A Father’s Blessing

These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said as he told his sons good-bye. He blessed each one with an appropriate message.
Genesis 49:28
 

All of chapter 49 of Genesis records the individual blessings Jacob gave his sons. Each one is an example of a father’s careful observations of his son’s character and potential. Blessings were serious business in Old Testament families. We could make a huge impact on our children if we made it a point to institute parental blessings as part of our family life. Author Gary Smalley has written extensively on this particular subject, and his books have many practical suggestions.

One of the basic changes we can make in our family thinking is to expand the way we treat occasions like birthdays, graduations, holidays, weddings, and other special events. How can we add to each of these occasions intentional moments of blessing? Can we find a way to include an “appropriate message” in each one? Where can we start?

Our Valentine

This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

1 John 3 : 11, 16

Happy Valentine to you all!

Our Hope and Security in God’s promises

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Where does our hope come from? Where does our security lie on? We have to have trust God with all our heart and mind, know well in our heart that God’s promises are true and He has the perfect plan for us and our family.
