“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.”
Nowadays, many people are proud and compete to upload photos or stories on social media to show off their worldly achievements. The Apostle Paul stated that if anyone thinks they can rely on worldly things, he has more. However, what was once an advantage to him, he now considers a loss because of Christ. The Apostle Paul let go of everything and considered it rubbish in order to gain Christ.
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
Usually, people feel lacking because they do not have the things they need. However, there are also people who feel lacking not because they do not have what they need, but because they are not satisfied with what they already have and always desire more than what they possess. These people never feel sufficient.
“so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”
I am happy to hear my wife's story about a servant of God who brings some members of the congregation to visit a school every year, and prays for the children studying there. "This pastor is not only friendly, but also remembers the names of the children. He usually greets them by name, a sign that he knows the children," my wife explained. I immediately remembered Jesus' description of a good shepherd, which actually refers to Himself.
“I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.””
We live in an era where bad news is just a touch away. The term doomscrolling - the habit of constantly reading negative news on social media - has become a tiring mental phenomenon. We worry about economic stability, health, and the future of our families. In the midst of this information storm, we often ask, "Is there a way to stay calm when the world is in chaos?"
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
There are many beautiful expressions about old age. I believe all are meant to encourage the elderly. Unfortunately, the contents of those beautiful expressions are not always true. Sometimes, it's just playing with words. Look at the following example.
“In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Knowing the boundaries of something is very important. Whether it is literal or metaphorical. This can include understanding the limits of our abilities in doing something, both in words and actions, as well as in using our authority or power. Because if we exceed the limits, it will definitely cause problems, and put ourselves in danger.
“But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.”
When asking someone about their well-being, we usually hear the answer, "I'm fine." However, sometimes they might say, "I'm not doing well." At that moment, various possibilities may cross our minds about what is happening in that person's life. One thing in common, all of it is unpleasant. Maybe that person is suffering from an illness, facing a disaster, or dealing with problems.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”
Why are all kinds of skincare products and food and beverages claimed to keep us young becoming the best-selling commodities? Apparently, the desire to look young and fresh is the dream of many people. The magnet of youthfulness is so meaningful, especially in this era. However, no matter how hard we try, we are not exempt from the aging process.
