Devo: Hosea 2:15-23 The book of Hosea is packed! I’m only in chapter 2 but boy! There is so much to digest. “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her.” God said in verse 14 that He would allure her (referring to Israel). Merriam-Webster defines “allure” (verb) as “to entice by charm or attraction”. The Israelites were unfaithful to God and yet, God had mercy on them. He didn’t force them…
Devo: Hosea 2:2-13 Grabe ang pagmamahal ng Panginoon sa mga Israelita. Kahit na idolatrous sila, kahit na they went and worshipped other gods, the Lord still provided for them. Even if we are unfaithful, God remains faithful. “God gives to man the trees of the forest and the iron in the ground. He gives man the brains to make an axe and nails from the iron, and the energy to cut down the tree, the skill to fashion the wood…
Devo: Daniel 9:20-27 Agad agad may sagot ang Diyos sa panalangin ni Daniel. Simula pa lang ng panalangin ni Daniel, tumugon na ang Diyos. Wow. While he was praying, an angel named Gabriel, spoke to him and told him that he will give Daniel a skill to understand. “At the beginning of your supplications the command went out,…” v. 23 “…and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved…” v. 23 Nainggit ako kay Daniel. Gusto ko…
I continued my reading this afternoon in the book of Daniel. (It’s a holiday at work so I had the chance to do so.) This is one of the many verses in chapter 9 that struck me: “O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great…
They (“All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors abd advisors…” v. 7) made a decree that whoever made a request to any god or man except the king within 30 days should be cast into the lion’s den. When Daniel learned that the king signed the decree, he went to his room, knelt down, and prayed to God three times a day. The people who asked the king to sign the decree gathered and found…

King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream came true twelve months after. He trusted in his own power and might. He was very proud of his accomplishments that he forgot to recognize God and thank Him. “The king spoke, saying, ‘Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty.’” v. 30 While King Nebuchadnezzar was still speaking, he heard a voice from heaven saying that the kingdom has departed…
I finally decided to make tacos today. I bought the ingredients last weekend but I didn’t have enough time. I started making taco shells around 11 this morning and finished everything (shells and fillings) around 3 pm! Some food takes forever to make but takes only seconds to finish! Anyway, I’ve always liked soft taco shells because the corn shell is too messy to eat. Ingredients: Soft taco shells: Method: Filling: Method:
Today’s devo: Daniel 2 King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and he called the magicians, astrologers, sorcerers, and the Chaldeans (“known for their study abd knowledge of astrology and astronomy” – gotquestions.org)–all the wise men of Babylon–to tell him his dream and interpret it. The Chaldeans told the king that no man on earth could tell what the king dreamt about and the latter was infuriated. He commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon–which includes Daniel and his companions….
I was halfway through the book of Daniel but I got distracted by a lot of other things and instead of finishing the book in my quiet time, I would just open the Bible randomly. So today, I decided to start from chapter 1 again. What stood out to me in chapter 1 is verse 9. “Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.” The favor that we receive from people is…
