Psalm 84:12

"O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in You!" – Psalm 84:12 (ESV) 📖

🌿 Reflection:

Psalm 84 is a song of deep longing for the presence of God. It’s filled with awe for God's dwelling place and the joy of being near Him. The final verse, Psalm 84:12, ends the psalm with a powerful truth: trust in God leads to blessing.

The word "blessed" here isn't just about material things. It speaks of spiritual fullness, peace, and the deep joy of a heart anchored in faith. To trust in God is to rest in His promises, to walk by faith even when circumstances seem uncertain, and to place your hope not in your strength, but in His.

💬 Key Insight:

This verse reminds us that God is trustworthy—not only in the big, life-changing moments but in the quiet, everyday choices. Whether you're waiting on a breakthrough, navigating disappointment, or celebrating His goodness, trusting God transforms your perspective.

📝 Personal Application:

Ask yourself:

Where am I placing my trust today?

What would it look like to fully entrust this situation to God?

How can I practice trust in a deeper way this week?

🙏 Prayer:

Lord of hosts, You are my refuge and strength. Help me to trust You completely. Let my faith be rooted in Your goodness and Your Word. Thank You that true blessing comes not from what I hold, but in whom I trust. Amen.

✨ Encouragement:

You are blessed—not because everything is perfect, but because your trust is in the One who never fails.

Support Israel - A Nation Chosen by God ✡️

Throughout history, Israel has stood as a powerful symbol of faith, perseverance, and divine promise. From the pages of Scripture to the present day, this land holds a unique place in God’s covenant with His people.

📖 “I will bless those who bless you...” – Genesis 12:3

God’s promise to Abraham still echoes today. Supporting Israel isn’t just political — it’s spiritual. It’s standing with a nation chosen for a divine purpose, a light among nations, and a living testimony of prophecy fulfilled.

🌟 Despite challenges, Israel thrives — a beacon of resilience, innovation, and faith.

Let’s stand in prayer, unity, and support for the Holy Land.

#PrayForIsrael #StandWithIsrael #BlessIsrael #FaithAndPromise #Genesis123 🇮🇱

📖 Why we support Israel- Because God Said So

In a world filled with conflict, division, and opinions, God's Word remains unchanging. Our support for Israel isn't rooted in politics, but in God's covenant promise.

🕊️ “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”— Genesis 12:3

Despite what we see in the news, the Bible reminds us that Israel is still God's chosen nation — and His plans for her have not changed. This is not about ignoring the pain of others, but about aligning ourselves with God's Word and His purposes.

🛐 Why we stand with Israel:

Because God’s promises are eternal (Romans 11:29)

Because Jesus was born in Israel and walked the land

Because the Bible was written by Jewish hands under God’s Spirit

Because God says He will bless those who bless Israel — and we believe Him!

Let’s continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), and trust in God’s justice, timing, and truth — even when the world doesn’t understand.

🙌 Lord, align our hearts with Yours. Teach us to walk in faith, not fear. To bless what You bless. To stand where You stand.

Grateful for Another Year: A Birthday Reflection 🎂

 

Today, I celebrate another year of life—and more than the cake, the greetings, and the candles, what fills my heart most is gratitude. 🌸

I look back on the years with tears, smiles, and lessons... and forward with hope. Each chapter of my life—both the joyful and the painful—has been penned by no other than God, the Author and Giver of my life. ✨

Even as I walk this road with an autoimmune condition, I can still say with all my heart:

GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME.

🙏 Grateful to My God

Every breath I take is grace. Every sunrise I wake up to is a reminder that I am loved by a faithful God who has never let go of me, even in my weakest days. He has been my strength when my body failed, my peace when anxiety crept in, and my anchor when things felt uncertain. He is the reason I’m still standing.

👨‍👧‍👧 Grateful for My Family

I am endlessly thankful for my two beautiful daughters, Jedi and Heart. You both give me purpose and joy I can’t even begin to put into words. Watching you grow with such kindness, wisdom, and strength reminds me daily why I keep fighting and thriving.

To Mike, thank you for loving me, for staying beside me, and for accepting all that I am—even on days when I don't feel strong or beautiful. Your love is a quiet comfort that holds me together more than you know.

🏠 Grateful for My Support System

To my family, churchmates, and every person who’s prayed with me, encouraged me, and made me feel less alone in this journey—thank you. You are God’s reminder that I am never without love, never without support.

💛 A New Year, A New Grace

This birthday isn’t just about adding a number to my age—it’s about counting the countless reasons I’m still here, still hopeful, still choosing joy. I may be carrying a chronic illness, but I’m also carrying strength, faith, and a heart full of love.

So here’s to another year...

Not just of surviving—but of living fully, loving deeply, and leaning completely on God's grace.

Thank You, Lord, for my life. I give You back all the glory.

🌿 Striving for Humility 🌿

Cotto Mines, Masinloc, Zambales🌿🌿

📖 Philippians 2:3–5 (ESV)

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.”

---

💬 Reflection:

Humility isn’t natural—it’s supernatural.

In Philippians 2, Paul challenges us to a radical mindset shift: put others first. Not in a way that neglects self-care, but in a Christlike way that seeks the good of others without needing applause.

Jesus, who had every right to be served, chose to serve.
He didn’t cling to His status—He laid it down.
Humility, for Him, meant a cross.
For us, it means daily choosing love over ego, service over pride, and unity over personal gain.

---

🛠️ Application:

• Check your motives. Are you doing things to be seen or to serve?

• Lift others up. Speak words that honor, not compete.

• Look around. Who in your life could use encouragement, help, or just your presence?

---

🙏 Prayer:

Lord, strip away my pride. Teach me to walk in humility as Jesus did. Help me to see others as You see them, and to love with Your selfless love. Amen.

---

📌 Humility doesn’t mean thinking less of yourself—it means thinking of yourself less.

 Let’s strive to live with the mindset of Christ.

“Travel calms my mind, frees my soul, and reminds me that the world is wide—and so is my heart.”- iSTarriay23

✈️🌿 I Travel to Feel Alive.

There’s something about traveling that speaks to my soul. Whether it’s the breeze from the mountains, the scent of a new city, or the sound of waves crashing by the shore—travel refreshes me, grounds me, and sets me free.

It’s not just about going places—it’s about pausing, breathing, and finding peace away from the noise. Every journey reminds me who I am, and who I’m becoming.

I travel not to escape life, but to reconnect with it. 🌍💛
