God's Guidance and Provision

Where God guides, He provides.

And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
--- Philippians 4:19

My own reflection on this Thought:
* In some stages in our life, we believe that God guides us. But do we believe that He also provides us everything we need? Sometimes no, due to the condition that we've seen with our own very eyes.
God's word today ask us to believe, not only He will guide, but also He provides.

Feelings Are Deceiving

The pain of emotional rejection is one of the worst kinds of pain a person can feel. When a person feels he has been rejected, there is intense emotional pain! It hurts!

Always remember to check your perception when you feel rejected. Just because you feel rejected or perceive rejection doesn't mean you are really being rejected. It may be the result of past problems; and if so, it is time to receive healing.

He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
--- Psalm 107:20

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Most of the problems we're facing today and feel emotionally bothered by them are usually problems that haven't been settled in the past. We might feel we solve the problem already, but maybe in our unconscious mind, we still have hurt of the traumatic experience. Our reaction today might come from unsolved past hurt. Pray to God to heal us the wound, so that we can life rejoicefully today...

Press On

I don't have to get up every day trying to be perfect! I just need to get up every day, determined to press on.

I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
--- Philippians 3:14

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Perfection belongs to God. Even a perfectionist can't be perfect all the time, but God is able... We don't need to be a perfectionist, coz' it's really stressful... But we can do the best to focus on the goal of God's plan for us... Ask in prayer, what's your plan for me, God? (-fon-)
