Don't miss it

Whenever I travel by plane, I would often miss looking at the beautiful cottony clouds by the window.
This morning I read of a different cloud I should never miss watching.


I just finished reading the book of Exodus and this last chapter helped me understand and believe more of God's faithfulness to His people as I think of uncertainties in 2012.


The last verses of Exodus 40 are like sweet reminders to me. I can't help but praise God because His ways are sure and I just have to trust in Him.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of theLord filled the tabernacle. 36 Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. 37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.


I am particularly blessed with v.38 "in the sight of all the house of Israel...throughout all their journeys". Wow! imagine that none of them will miss his instruction and its unli access to God's guidance throughout their travel. He will lead them to the final. No one would say, I didn't know you want me to stay or go but the clouds by day or fire by night will be in the sight of all. Who would miss a moving cloud or fire anyway? God so designed perfectly for their time.

It's true that I don't have those spectacular visible signs of clouds and fire today but God is unchanging. Mat7:7 says I just have to seek him and call upon Him. "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." It's the same unli access to God as Israelites had. 

Knowing this truth won't change the unfolding of 2012 but my hope is in Him. Any child of God should run to Him whether in uncertainty or security. I encourage you to run to Him too.

    A BIG BIG amen to this!
    Truly God cares. His plan for His children comes in a full package, Jeremiah 29:11. Let's just hold on to his promises.

Borrowed Time

The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful seasons anyone can ever experience in life--one of the hardest times to go through.  Since Friday last week, I've seen how one dearly-loved person passing away, turns a family, relatives and friends to sudden gloom and sadness. The pain so enveloped everyone, as one family member said, "masakit... hindi ma-explain".  The few days of wake ushered everyone to weep with those who weep. It was a time to cry and find comfort with one another and, most especially from the the Lord. The pain of separation lingers but everyone is invited to the true hope in God, as one of the songs went (Trust His Heart) during the wake service: God is too wise to be mistaken God is too good to be unkind So when you don't understand When you don't see His plan When you can't trace His hand Trust His heart Yesterday was the burial. During interment mass, a passage from Job was read. Job, as many are fami...
