May mga pagkakataong dumadaan tayo sa  mabibigat na suliranin ng buhay na halos hindi natin malaman kung paano ito malalampasan.  At madalas lumalapit tayo sa mga kaibigang inaakala nating may tulong na maibibigay. Subalit umuuwi tayong walang bitbit kundi kabiguan. Minsan naman ang pamilya mo gustong tumulong pero wala rin namang kakayahan maliban sa makidalamhati sa iyong kalagayan.

 

No help at all!

 

Sometimes we complain to God, “Bakit sa akin pa nangyari ito?”

 

Our Heavenly Father need not to explain to us kung bakit may mga bagay na nangyayari na di natin gusto, di rin natin maintindihan. The Lord says in His Word,

 

“What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue   with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’   Does the pot exclaim, ‘How clumsy can you be?’

(Isaiah 45:9 NLT)

 

God is our potter and we are his clay in His mighty hands. Who we are to question Him? Isang bagay lamang ang hinihingi ng Panginoon sa atin gaano man kahirap ang ating dalahin.  Iyon ay ang “tiwala”.

 

“Tiwala” na nagsasabing Siya ay mabuti, tapat, at mapagkakatiwalaan. Totoo naman talaga,  na kapag pangit ang sitwasyon, normal na pangit din ang ating mararamdaman to the point na gusto natin itong takasan. Kaya trying hard tayo to look for a way out, only to find ourselves

disappointed and nearly losing our hope.

 

Yes! We would not hear any explanations from God of what is going on. But one thing is sure!  May pag-asa kay Kristo. God will make the wilderness of our lives a “Door of Hope”.

 

The Word of God in Hosea 2:14-15 (ESV) tells us;

 

14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.15And there I will give her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall  answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.

 

“Valley of Achor” is a place in the Old Testament time where the Israelites experienced troubles wherefore, the name of that place was called. Ito rin yong tinatawag natin na wilderness ng buhay.  At ang sitwasyon mo ngayon ay pagkakataon ng Diyos upang suyuin ka at ipadama ang Kanyang pag-ibig sa’yo.

 

“Ngunit masdan mo, siya’y muli kong susuyuin, dadalhin ko siya sa ilang, kakausapin ng buong giliw” (Hosea 2:14)

 

In one of the article I’ve read, in the wilderness of our lives “God is alluring us to be formed into a worshipping army.  An army that does not worry about problems but worships because you know and trust God alone with eyes locked on Jesus.”

 

Worship is one of a weapon that changes the prevailing emotional tone of despair to confidence with peace and joy.   And while we are simply worshipping and waiting on Him, without our knowing, the enemies and all their works in our lives are being devastated.

 

With your eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus, worship Him as you go through the wilderness of your life and never allow the enemy to terrify you.

 

Just relax!

 

Tapat ang Diyos sa buhay mo, kaya huwag kang susuko!  Manatiling nakapako ang iyong mga mata kay Hesus lamang. This is what the Lord wants us to do: Stop wrestling, start worshipping. Worship and magnify Him! Stop looking at the situation and look at Him, the One who is able to fix our trouble.

 

At habang nakapako ang ating mga paningin kay Hesus, alalahanin natin ang lahat ng mabuting bagay na ginawa Niya para sa atin and we will find that our worry is turning into worship and the terror into praise.

 

Keep your eyes locked on Jesus. Don’t be concerned about what is happening.

 

Just keep gazing unto the Lord and together you will stand and see that His Kingdom is coming in your life and in your family.

 

Beloved in Christ, gaano man kahirap ang dinadaanan mo ngayon, just stay by His side with all your trust and God in His compassion shall open a way out for you.
