217. The Lord our God is God of gods and Lord of lords: Forget not all His benefits.

10 November 2021
The Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords.

Deuteronomy 10
17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.

Psalm 103
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion.


The Lord our God shows no partiality.

God’s Righteous Judgment

Romans 2
11 For God does not show favoritism.
 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

The Lord our God is abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Numbers 14:1-18

The Israelites rebelled against the Lord, Moses interceded for them.

“In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked. Numbers 14:19-20


Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Luke 7:47-50

The Lord is the God who heals.

When the Israelites came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. The Lord showed Moses a piece of wood, he threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink. Exodus 15:22-25

There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.
He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.” Exodus 15:26

Jesus heals a paralytic.

As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s people who lived in Lydda. 
There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. 
“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.
All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. Acts 9:32-35


At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:10, 13, 16

The Lord has forgiven my sins. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1

The Lord has healed me. Years ago, I cried tears in prayers and I was healed.

The Lord our God is God of gods and Lord of lords. I forget not all His benefits.

""Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name."
(Psalm 136:1-4; 103:1). This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Maraming salamat.

25 January 2021 1 Timothy 5 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. Let me share my reflection 7 October 2017 which I have updated. "Grandchildren. Children’s children are a crown to the aged. (Proverbs 17:6) 1 Timothy 5 9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband,  10 and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds. Let me make the connection between grandchildren and a widow. Marlou and I recently spent a weekend in Lipa to visit my mother-in-law. We went to Lipa New Hope Church for the Sunday worship service. From the back, I can see the petite figure of "Nanay" (...

28 February 2021 Photo by Shaun F from Pexels Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God? (Psalm 71:19) 2 Peter 1 1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. The Apostle Peter. "Do you think that we are too tough on Peter for denying Christ? Note that after the Resurrection, Jesus told the women: "Go tell my disciples and Peter." Why "and Peter"? I see myself in Peter. I also see my neighbors and friends in him. Perhaps you see yourself in Peter as well. There's something of this man in us all, and the way God used him with his faults and failures gives me hope, for the God who changed his life is still in the business of changing people. As I think of Mr. Peter, I think o...

226. We will be blessed: The Lord washed our feet, we should wash one another's feet.

6 December 2021 You will be blessed. Deuteronomy 28 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God. John 13 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. Maundy Thursday. " Maundy (from Old French mandé, from Latin mandatum meaning "command"), or the Washing of the Feet, or Pedelavium, is a religious rite observed by various Christian denominations. This is also seen as referring to the commandment of Christ that believers should emulate his loving humility in the washing of the feet (John 13:14–17). The term mandatum (mandé, maundy), therefore, was applied to the rite of foot-washing on the Thursday preceding Easter Sunday, called Maundy Thursday. " From Wikipedia " As Jesus was t...
