Inspirations

GOD and His Word, the Bible is my greatest inspiration. Every day, I thank God for His blessings and I seek His Will. Sometimes I despair, sometimes I stumble, sometimes I sin. But I know that I serve the God of the Universe, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, who loves you and me.

Adapted from J.I. Packer:
Psalms  teach us how to worship; Proverbs, how to behave; Job, how to suffer; Song of Solomon, how to love; and Ecclesiastes, how to live.

One of my constant struggles is controlling my temper. I have to remember the following scriptures:
Proverbs 29: 11 Fools give full vent to their rage but the wise bring calm in the end.
James 3: 17- 18 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
Galatians 5: 22- 23 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

These scriptures have been in my heart and part of my life's ups and downs: 
Psalm 23 and Philippians 4: 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. 
Only to discover much later that I should be content. 
Philippians 4: 11- 12  I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

In February 2016, I observed Lent for the first time. I did this to honor Jesus' 40 days of fasting and glorify Him on Easter Sunday. I picked fasting from social media namely Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter because they were my earthly obsessions.  The first day was difficult since my fingers automatically searched for these social media apps on my smartphone and typed on my Internet browsers. I removed these apps on my phone and logged out from these websites from my office and personal computers. It showed how these sites had taken over my life. I found that I had plenty of time on my hand and filled it by making a conscious effort to reach out my closest connections through actual conversations. Since then, I've completed Lent and declare that I could overcome my obsessions when I put my mind to them. I highly recommend doing this to break bad habits!
