Reflection 2025: Unshakeable Faith in God’s Unchanging Nature

As we face a new year, it’s comforting to know that God never changes. His promises remain true, His love is steadfast, and His grace is constant. The world may change, people may change, and even our circumstances may shift, but God remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Imagine if He changes — if His love or faithfulness wavered — where would we stand? But because He is unchanging, we can build our lives on His solid foundation with confidence and hope. No matter what 2025 brings, trust that God’s character and promises will never fail.

Hold on to unshakeable faith, knowing you are secure in God’s unchanging hands.

The significance of MANIFESTING

Manifesting biblically means aligning your desires with God’s will, trusting His timing, and using faith and prayer to bring His promises to fruition. It ensures your goals honor Him, fostering peace, purpose, and blessings that align with His perfect plan. Here are steps to manifest biblically:

1. Seek God’s Guidance: Begin by seeking God’s kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Let His Word shape your desires and priorities.
2. Pray with Faith: Communicate with God through prayer, confidently believing that He hears and responds according to His will (Mark 11:24).
3. Speak with Faith: Declare God’s promises over your life with boldness, trusting His power to bring them to pass (Proverbs 18:21). Speak words of life, hope, and victory.
4. Meditate on Scripture: Reflect on and internalize God’s Word, letting it renew your mind and direct your thoughts (Joshua 1:8).
5. Trust His Timing: Surrender your timeline to God, knowing His plans are always perfect (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
6. Act in Obedience: Take steps of faith that align with His Word, demonstrating trust in His guidance and provision (James 2:17).

By speaking with faith and following these principles, you align your life with God’s promises, ensuring that your pursuits are rooted in His power, purpose, and abundant blessings.

Diwa ng Pasko

Ang Pasko ay isang panahon ng kagalakan, pag-asa, at pagmamahalan na nagpapagunita sa atin ng mahalagang mensahe mula sa Bibliya. Sa tuwing ipinagdiriwang natin ang kapanganakan ni Hesus, naaalala natin ang kahalagahan ng pagsilang ng Tagapagligtas na ipinangako ng Diyos upang iligtas ang sangkatauhan mula sa kasalanan.

Ayon sa Lukas 2:10-11, sinabi ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot! Ako’y may dalang mabuting balita para sa inyo na magdudulot ng malaking kagalakan sa lahat ng tao. Isinilang sa inyo ngayon sa bayan ni David ang Tagapagligtas, ang Cristo na Panginoon.” Ang pagsilang ni Hesus ay nagpapaalala ng dakilang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa atin, na nagpadala ng Kanyang Anak upang tayo ay tubusin.

Isa sa mga pangunahing tema ng Pasko ay ang pagbibigayan, na makikita rin sa Bibliya. Sa Juan 3:16, ipinahayag na, “Sapagkat ganoon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sanlibutan kaya’t ibinigay niya ang kanyang bugtong na Anak.” Ang diwa ng pagbibigayan ay hindi lamang materyal na bagay, kundi ang pagbabahagi ng pagmamahal, pagkalinga, at kabutihan sa ating kapwa. Ang mga Haring Mago na nagdala ng mga regalo kay Hesus ay nagpaalala sa atin na ang tunay na halaga ng regalo ay nasa intensyon ng puso na magbigay-pugay at magbahagi ng biyaya.

Sa huli, ang Pasko ay paanyaya rin sa bawat isa na magbalik-loob sa Diyos at magbigay-daan sa liwanag ng Kanyang pag-ibig sa ating buhay. Sa Mateo 1:23, sinabi, “Ang birhen ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang lalaki, at tatawagin nila siyang Emmanuel” na ang ibig sabihin ay “Kasama natin ang Diyos.” Ang Emmanuel ay isang patunay na ang Diyos ay laging naririto sa ating piling, gumagabay at nagbibigay-lakas. Ang tunay na diwa ng Pasko ay hindi lamang nasa selebrasyon, kundi sa pagninilay, pananalangin, at pagbubuhay ng mga aral ni Hesus sa ating araw-araw na pamumuhay.

God’s Promise of Peace in Times of Anxiety

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

This verse teaches us to turn to God in times of anxiety and stress. Instead of worrying, we are encouraged to pray, express gratitude, and trust in God’s plan. In return, God grants us a peace that goes beyond human comprehension, calming our hearts and minds.
