Exodus 18

 2020, 29 Feb Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to him. Exodus 18:17‭-‬19 NIV Lord, I continue to be stabbed and learn how to lead in all conditions, both when very busy and in good condition. although I have read about this moses story many times, I still always find it helpful to this verse. how to trust, and delegate tasks or jobs. because not everything will be solved alone. and lots of people you can develop and ultimately help your work. I am grateful, given a new trust for me. I'm always afraid of being wrong when I want to do something new, but I'm grateful. God is always kind and gives me wisdom. I am not yet proficient, but God always teaches me so that I can get a m...

Roma 14

 2020, 16 Jan Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. Romans 14:13 NIV At that time, the congregation was debating whether or not to eat food and drink. they justify one another and some even become a stumbling block for their own brothers. then Paul explains that salvation does not come from what we eat and drink but from our faith in the dead Christ so that I can live. Are you now a stumbling block? are you often late Do you have good atitude at the office? Have your words hurt your brother? Do you love and care about your brother? are you still too selfish without thinking about your brother? So? Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 NIV If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Romans 14:8 NIV besides that Paul also explained that we li...

Blessings

 2020, 15 Jan Blessings God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:28 NIV Today, I really tired and sleepless, because I working until dawn. So my mood is very bad because I'm tired and feels under pressure. but I gratefull this morning I read about "Blessing Plan"  What is blessing for your life? maybe I can answer what's good happened for me, or for my friend or my family. But what blessing which God gives to us? I was read this verse yesterday about How God really love us and want make relationship with me, and God created us in His image. Because the truth is, God wants to bless you beyond your ability to ask or imagine. What is the blessing of God? It’s God—God with us, God for us, God in us. To reduce it to anything less dishonors God and devalues the blessing. God with us is joy uns...

Roma 13

2020, 14 Jan For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. Romans 13:3 NIV In the contents of this reading is indeed the authority requested by the government, how should I give tax and obey and respect the policies given by the government. But in my daily life, it's not just the government that has to be respected. but also parents, leaders in the office, leaders in the church and maybe a few others. For me, someone who expects acceptance from someone I respect. The rules must be like the road that must be obeyed, must be violated even though not all rules made were to misery me. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Romans 13:4 NIV sometimes they issue annoying rules f...

Roma 12

 2020, 13 Jan Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV This chapter tells about "collection of advice". Long life has passed, and I have the Holy Spirit, so I should have the seeds of truth in my heart and live a new life according to what Christ taught. just this morning, I was already upset because I suddenly had a toothache. immediately want to get angry. so I didn't have time to write in the quiet in the morning and grumbled instead. indeed the pain can affect my mood. but I should be able to maintain my emotions not based on conditions but what holds on in my life. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. Romans 12:3 NIV as a ...

Roma 11

 2020, 12 Jan for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. Romans 11:29 NIV This chapter tell about God's Covenant.  Paul reiterates that God's promises never change. even though you disobey, but when you repent the covenant will not be canceled. Father, thank you for the umpteenth time you have given me. Like today's sermon, remind me how I am not easily doubted by the voice of the devil. because the devil must know very well about the contents of the Bible. if I don't really search the Bible properly and intact, I could easily be fooled by bits of verse that don't fit the actual context and instead continue to use them as justification. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the g...

Roma 10

 2020, 11 Jan But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:8‭-‬9 NIV Have you ever felt that far from God? I have.I once felt very doubtful and doubtful. even though the Word is close to my mouth. when I received the true Word the Word was in my heart. What remains is my response, whether I will use the power of the Word to guide my steps or not. and last but not least what to do is 'declare' As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one...
