WONDER WORKER

We may have been to a situation where we are totally undecided which way to go. It is this part where we don't really know whether to move forward or backward or stay put. In times like these we must always entrust to God whatever decisions we may come up with. The Lord will never confuse nor ignore us in our plea. Let us always be full of confidence of His light, guidance, direction and protection. For in His most perfect time and design everything will be revealed and made known to us. Amen. Hallelujah!

Letter to the Romans 16,3-9.16.22-27.

....Now to him who can strengthen you, according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages
but now manifested through the prophetic writings and, according to the command of the eternal God, made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith,
to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever. Amen.) ....

It has been more than 4 years since I’ve made a major decision which I would never forget for the rest of my life. Looking back at what took place that time on a date and day that will forever hold a special meaning for me (10-08-‘07, Thursday) it makes me think of all the wonderful and unbelievable things that have already happened from that time on until now. If we are to look closely at our day to day existence then we will find out for sure that they are all testimonies of God’s goodness, love and mercy. This is very timely sharing because yesterday during our visit to my uncle who is in the hospital, my aunt was narrating to us how God paved the way for the right people to be with them in their trip prior to the time when my uncle got sick in a foreign land. Everything seemed to be headed to a great tragedy if not for the miraculous set up of how people, things and places came into play at that very difficult hour for them. Considering that they are in a place where everything seems to be alien to them especially with the greatest obstacle which is the language barrier. There is no denying that God is a wonder worker. He is at work at all times and made sure that they are in the right place at the right time and with the right people and circumstances. Amen. Hallelujah!

Psalms 145:2-3, 4-5, 10-11

R: I will praise your name forever, Lord.
2 Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name forever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD and highly to be praised; his greatness is unsearchable. (R) 4 Generation after generation praises your works and proclaims your might. 5 They speak of the splendor of your glorious majesty and tell of your wondrous works. (R) 10 Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD, and let your faithful ones bless you. 11 Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might. (R)

God in today's gospel tells us to always keep the motives and intentions of what we do in check. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be (Mt 6:21). There are times when we often fall prey or are caught up by the prevailing condition or accepted norms of our society that we are led astray from doing what is really pleasing before the Lord and worst we come up with all kinds of justifications and excuses just to make ourselves look right before the Lord. If we are sometimes groping in the dark or having doubts as to what is truly pleasing in the sight of God we should always remember that nothing is hidden from Him because He can see through our hearts and all will be revealed in its true light if we seek Him then we will find Him. There's one thing we should never forget, we have a Creator who is able to do all marvelous things without exception which is not in fiction or imagination but in real life. If we put our faith and trust in God and decide to serve Him first and foremost then we would never be in want. Amen. Hallelujah!


Luke 16:9-15
...You cannot serve God and mammon." The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things and sneered at him. And he said to them, "You justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God.
