He knows well!!!

Jeremiah 29:6-14 

Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord .   This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”


* what God has purposed in His heart for everything especially to whom He created by His own image and breath will stand and will be fulfilled. Jeremiah chapter 29 is indeed a powerful declaration and a reminder for us. Many people question God about suffering and pain; is it part of his harmless and prosperous plan according to V.11 ? We forgot that PROCESS is one of the season that everyone must go through and surpass. Circumstances may not prove this, but in the eyes of faith, everything leads to that harmless and prosperous life. 

*There is Nothing that God planned in His heart to hurt us. But sometimes that plan  requires pain, hurt and uncertainties to test our hearts and mind and  to make it obedient to God's word. Only God knows everything.. And I/we need to trust Him ; the promise He said and through His word. 

* thank you Jesus!!

Do It Your way Lord..

Psalm 16:2  I say to the Lord , “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

DIY stands for Do It Yourself. In this fast and modern age, DIY or do it yourself way is a trend. It is making things on our own personal way. There are many benefits of DIY way;  you are able to save money, practice your creativity, and recycle the used, old things turning it to be more useful. DIY is fun, you tend to make things unuseful to something purposeful. Well, this can only be functional on things but never in handling life.

How many times have you used DIY way in managing your life? How long have you been doing  DIY? For things it can be possible but in life there is no other way to live this life but to allow God to Do it Himself.

Psalm 16:2 says , apart from God I, we have no good thing. One thing that God has freely given us is our free will. He allows us to decide and choose how to our lives here on earth but He never missed to remind and guide us through the wisdom of His word. We have abilities , gifts and knowledge as our resources a to make things work but it takes the wisdom and the hands of God to make our work lasts. 

It you have been practicing DIY to your life, and seeing the result of mess and no good, it's time to let go and let God. He created you, and He knows you very well. No need to stretch yourself to the limit. Stop recycling the old you, because God can make all things new. God can do it Himself to make things work out in your life. You just have to surrender and offer your life to Him. God is more than Willing to take over. Put your
full trust to Him. So, In handling your life, DIY is a no no way!
