Brothers and sisters,

Is there ever a time in your life where you doubt yourself? Where you think that your abilities will not come to par with the expectations of others, and with the responsibilities of the day? I'm sure even the greatest of thinkers and philosophers, scientists, poets, doctors, lawyers, to even the skilled carpenters etc doubt sometimes.

We doubt because we are unconfident with ourselves and our strengths due to the gargantuan task before us. Maybe it includes 50 some ledgers that an accountant has to finish in 2 days, perhaps its fixing a broken building wing for a skilled carpenter, treating 5 patients who are waiting for care for a doctor, or even, perhaps, its dealing with financial situations-- money problem, debt, lack of capital, etc.

Any of these can reduce a man , even with strong spirit , to doubt as well as avoidance of said problem. Why even great men of the Church such as St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Thomas, themselves doubted and questioned their own faith. These are apostles, who tho were filled with celestial joy of the Holy Spirit, were weighed down by the human limitations and preponderance to doubt. As doubting and questioning is part of the disposition of being man.

What I learn in reading the Holy Bible and from reading the lives of these three apostles is that there are instances that we will be challenged by the world, where our faith and our faith will be questioned.

Don't let the doubt overcome you, brothers and sisters. The world may overwhelm us at times, sure, it even did for the saints, however we have to find the strength to carry the day. Because in the end, the carpenter builds the house with the help of other master carpenters; the accountant finishes his 50 or some ledgers , with the help of another coworker and blessed with hot black coffee. The doctor , with the help of residents and medical interns will see 20 or more patients in that time frame she was given.

Just as Peter, Paul and Thomas , themselves particulary doubting at first--but trusted the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, to guide them and to work in them, despite their human frailties, were able to accomplish the Will of Jesus Christ: To Spread the Good News.

Brothers and Sisters, don't doubt. Don't let the world overcome you.
Remember that Our Lord Jesus Christ has overcome the World.

---

Jesus said unto them: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Brothers and sisters , beloved, tho we are weak in the flesh, tho we are tempted to sin, TRUST in the Lord always. For even in our weak state, in our sinful nature, we are reassured that The Holy Spirit will work in us if we submit to The LORD all our plans, all our works, all our motivations and prayer.

What is impossible to us, dearest beloved, is possible with God. Trust in The LORD. And surely, the righteous and faithful one will bless you and guide you.

The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Galatians 6:8

This is definitely a verse that hits me to the core, which am sure it is for all of us. There are times that i find myself doing things , thinking of things that are contrary to Christian virtue, and to Christ's teachings of being repentant sinners. There are times in which i find myself falling into the sway of sin. But in such an instance, when being tempted, when feeling weak in the spirit...am reminded that God will never abandon us. Even when in a wretched state of being.

Did he not forgive Mary Magdalene? Even St. Paul?

So yes, we should (all of us) take time to sow and please the Spirit, for it is in the Spirit that we will reap eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Keep on fighting the good fight, brothers and sisters!

God Bless us all. ~

Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.

â€” Psalm 144:4

-----

Time is so precious -- time with our families, our children, our parents, our friends, as well as our brothers and sisters in Christ. How do you invest your time? Where do you invest it? You know, it's really more valuable than the money we invest. Once it's gone, it can't be reclaimed. So as you begin each day, ask God that you will be able to "know the time," to see it for what it is and to use it for its greatest good. Time passes quickly, and like the shadows of early evening, it's not long before it is absorbed into the gathering darkness of night.

Then the LORD said to Moses, â€œSee, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-
â€“ Exodus 31:1-3

-----

What is interesting about Bezalel is that he was filled with the Spirit of God to build the tabernacle. When we think of people filled with the Spirit, does a builder come across your mind? How about an accountant? A doctor? A housewife? When we see the ramifications of Bezalel, we see that Godâ€™s anointing is not just for pastors on Sunday services or music, but Godâ€™s empowerment was meant for all areas of life. Find out what you are uniquely empowered by God to do, then do it with all your might.

Today, I was blessed by God's Good Graces. I presented before the teaching staff at Northwestern University here in Chicago, the presentation was on Integumentary System. I was offered a position as clinical instructor for their Medical Terminology Class and their Basic EKG Class effective, which will start on May 2011. This is a part-time position.

I did not even expect to be offered an instructorship position, but was offered. Tinuod diay no, nga ang Grasya Sa Ginoo, it comes when it comes according to GOD's WILL.

So I shout in acclamation and give thanks to Him. The author of all good things.

All Glory, Honor and Praise be to Almighty God! The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

PSALM 100

   Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!

   Serve the LORD with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.


   Know that the LORD, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;


We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.


   Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.


Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.


   For the LORD is good;

His mercy is everlasting,


And His truth endures to all generations.

I can be arrogant. I admit this. In my question for education and knowledge, pride grew. This is not good. As too much pride and assertion of one's abilities can strain one's relationship with the LORD. Knowledge/Wisdom that is acquired is not because of our own abilities, but by God's Grace.

I was reminded one time by a very direct old woman who gave me a verse that touched my heart. She is an old Filipina nurse who reminded me to be grounded.

I thank her for it.

The verse that she shared with me is from 1 Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 1-2.

But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us.

Today is the day that we have been given by the LORD. So, with all our hearts, minds, and body, let us rejoice. Think not about your weaknesses, failures, because the LORD looks past these failings if you but LOVE Him whole heartedly. God sees what man cannot see; God sees and searches the heart and mind. So, brothers, tho we are sinners and filled with fault, know that you are BELOVED by GOD. Rejoice in Him.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableâ€”if anything is excellent or praiseworthyâ€”think about such things.

Acts 1:15-17, 20-26

Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers and sisters
(there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons
in the one place).
He said, â€œMy brothers and sisters,
the Scripture had to be fulfilled
which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand
through the mouth of David, concerning Judas,
who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus.
Judas was numbered among us
and was allotted a share in this ministry.
For it is written in the Book of Psalms:

Let his encampment become desolate,
and may no one dwell in it.
and:
May another take his office.

Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men
who accompanied us the whole time
the Lord Jesus came and went among us,
beginning from the baptism of John
until the day on which he was taken up from us,
become with us a witness to his resurrection.â€
So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas,
who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
Then they prayed,
â€œYou, Lord, who know the hearts of all,
show which one of these two you have chosen
to take the place in this apostolic ministry
from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.â€
Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias,
and he was counted with the Eleven Apostles.
