"daily" sermon part 1 n 2

Just wanna write down my notes. Sermon by ps jose.

*what needs to be done daily, should be done daily.
3 kali sehari makan 1 porsi makanan ga sama dengan 1 kali makan 3 porsi, walopun jumlahnya sama.
Rutinitas itu tidak selalu negatif. Rutin = rajin/teratur.
What needs to be done daily: bible reading, praying, devotion, forgiving others and ourselves, ...

*building character needs daily discipline.
Action/event -> habit -> character.
Habit: repeated events.
"It could take only one day for God to change ur situation. But it takes every day to change you."
Tuhan tdk dtgkan apa yg kita minta sekaligus, karena Dia mau membentuk kita.
God's mercy is always new every morning.

*beauty comes from daily simple things.

*Two things needed in life: strength and durability

If u want to be trusted, u hv to plant the seeds of trust.
Giving trust: bagian dr org yg mau dipercaya. Having faith: bagian dr org yg mau percaya.
God trusted us new blessings, favor and mercy everyday, so we can learn to have faith in Him.

Miracle could be a door to solve ur problems, but u still need to change ur habits in order to be free from ur problems.

Philippians 4
6 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.
7 Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit ... says the Lord of hosts." Zechariah 4:6

"I want you to face the mountain
so that you can see,
when the mountain is out of the way
all there is left is Me.

Only I can move the mountain,
only I can push it away,
only I can conquer the problems
that you face today.

Your only job is to believe, to listen
to my voice,
and when you hear what I command,
obedience is your choice.

But I will not make it too difficult for the
victory is already mine,
and I will fill you with My Spirit and through
you My grace will shine.

Not when you are perfect,
like you think you need to be,
but when your heart is willing to become more
and more like Me."

~New Day New You by Joyce Meyer

A little bit worried about this following weekdays. Smurf! :(

But I shud say to myself: I'm not gonna make myself be burdened and worried about what tomorrows will bring, cause I'm in the hands of the Almighty God. Nothing to worry about. Just trust Him that He will never let me down and won't let anything harm me.

"Be still, and know that I'm God"

morning insights

Be still and know that I'm God. As long as you are living with worry and stress, you are tying the hands of Almighty God. Be still and be in God's rest means that although you may have a problem, you trust Him to take care of it.
We don't grow nearly as much when everything is easy; we grow when life is difficult, when we are exercising our spiritual muscles, in the pressure spots.
You are where you are for a reason. Whatever it is, God will not allow anything to come into your life unless He has a purpose for it. You may not like it, you may be uncomfortable. But if you'll keep the right attitude, in the end, you will come out stronger and better off than you were before.
Faith doesn't always instantly deliver you, but it always carries you through.
One of the most important aspects of faith is trusting God even when we don't understand.
