Proverbs 13:11-12
11Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. 12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Croissant
Someone posted a question online asking, “What is the bread of your cat?” It was not known if it was intentional spelling or erroneous but someone replied, “Loaf bread!” Breed, bread, bridge, braid have similar sound to the untrained and unfamiliar ears. And advanced technology should help check right spelling.
Well anyway, what’s your favorit ..read more

Psalm 10:1
1 Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Jesus Christ declares in John 10:10, 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Christ offers fullness of life while the thief tries to destroy, kill and steal from everyone in this world. Young and old alike, religious or not struggles with problem. Even the Psalmist did not hesitate to express his feeling, as if the Lord was hiding himself in times ..read more

1 Corinthians 11:8-12
8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

Psalm 9:20
20 Strike them with terror, Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.
Humans are limited mortals that can be scared by terror. Did the Psalmist pray that the Lord may terrorize their enemies as revenge? Their enemies may have flaunted and showed off their power as if they were invincible. When enemies attacked them, they may have endured devastating terror of cruel invaders; emotionally and materially, they suffered. They were not able to defend themselves. So, the Psalmist appealed that God may strike their enemies with terror. Their only refuge is the Lord. Psalm 91:9 ..read more

1 Corinthians 11:4-7
4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

Psalm 9:19
19 Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
The Lord God Almighty has chosen Israel as his precious possession, but they were rebellious and disobeyed him. His judgment is righteous; he punished them through the cruelty of the Babylonians. It recorded in Jeremiah 25:9, “9I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an objec ..read more

1Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 2I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. 3But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

Psalm 9:18
18 But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
Everyone hopes for the best, but the best is yet to come. And, how can hope be brighter to anyone affected by war? Almost every single day, the ongoing wars among nations around the world cannot be absent among headline news including natural calamities. God allows wars and natural calamities just as recorded in Isaiah 45:6-7, 6From the rising of the sun to the place of its setting, people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. 7I form the light ..read more
