DON'T BE ARROGANT

 

Do you know someone who speaks arrogantly? Someone who takes all of the credit for him/herself? Or perhaps sometimes we unconsciously become arrogant in our speech or way of life.

As we continue our Bible Journey in 1 Samuel 2:3, the prayer of Hannah is a good reminder for all of us not to be proud or arrogant in our speech but rather always be humble.

1 Samuel 2:3

“Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by Him, deeds are weighed.”

One of the attributes of God that Hannah mentioned in her prayer is God is omniscient or all-knowing. It means that we cannot hide our evil thoughts and deeds from God because He knows our inner being.  We can hide from people but not from God. So we should stop being proud and arrogant because God ruins the knowledge of the world and destroys the proud and arrogant, but in His grace, He lifts up the humble and provides mercy to the meek and low.

So, how do we speak or live? Nagiging mayabang na ba ang dating natin? Let our silence speaks. Hindi yung tayo ang nagmamalaki dahil sa totoo lang wala tayong puwedeng ipagmalaki. God is the source of our wisdom, strength, and resources. Without God, we are nothing. Of course, we should always examine our motives in doing our ministry or in doing something because God knows everything.

BALANCING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND ANTI-DISCRIMATION ORDINANCE OF BAGUIO CITY

Crisanta M. Santos Diversity is vital in public administration because it brings together people from different backgrounds and perspectives, which stimulates creativity and better decision-making. According to research, diverse teams in government can develop policies that truly reflect and serve diverse communities (Naff & Kellough, 2003; Pitts, 2009). Beyond that, having a diverse workforce builds trust in government by making sure everyone feels represented and included, which encourages more people to get involved in civic life (Shin & Rainey, 2010). In an economic respect, diversity is highly useful for the managing of scarcity and talent by governments to entice talented human capital development to adapt and come up with solutions that address new needs and problems. This in a way leads to sustainable economic development and good steerage or management (OECD, 2008). Diversity is not simply a matter of equal treatment, it is about making the state’s services accessible,...

CHOSEN TO BE SET APART

Imahe
How is our Christian life going? Are we separate from the world or a part of it? As we continue our Bible journey in 1 Samuel 2, we will be reminded of who God is and what is expected from us as His children.   1 Samuel 2:2 There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. Hannah praises God for who He is. In her prayer, she mentions some of God’s attributes. First, God is holy. He is set apart from all that is unclean or unworthy. He is majestic and powerful and active in His perfect holiness. No other being in the universe is holy as He is. Second, there is no God besides him; no being but what is of him, and none is holy but by him; the holiness of angels is from him; the holiness of Adam in innocence was of him; and all the holiness of his chosen ones come from Him, to which they are chosen by him, and which is secured in that choice unto them, and are sanctified by God the Father, in Christ, and through the Spirit: Go...
