It is better to trust the LORD for protection than to trust anyone else.
Psalm 118:8
_a little trivia here about the Bible. Psalm 118:8 is believed to be the center of all the verses. also Psalm 118 is the shortest chapter. following it, Psalm 119 is the longest. just for added kinowledge.
_it was when i thought of pleasing others would lead me to nowhere, i decided to take up Nursing and stop my BS Biology course in the famous University of the Philippines. i do not want to be a doctor whom they dreamed me to be. it was when i stop pleasing others i felt fullfilment and joy in everything i do. though i knew i disappointed them, it is still a satisfaction in my part that now i like what i do. and that in everything i do, i put myself in it and does it not because they want me to do it but because it is what i want to do.
_to seek the approval of many brings security to most of us. their claps, cheers and praises make us think we are good enough for something and that we are making an impact. and yet, it leaves us empty. to please others oftentimes, is not pleasing yourself. and sadly, to make others happy takes your own happiness. it is not good. it is not healthy. it is not pleasing to God, i believe.
_instead of resting on persons for security, the core of the Bible points out to Whom will we have the ultimate safety. not even the strongest army could protect you from all harm and lift you safe from the tongues of fire of hell. it is not an accident that it is placed in the center of the Bible. it meant to me that i should put this to my core too. coying the verse, i took it as my life verse. finding comfort in the midst of pain, safety in the middle of thunderstorms and love in the world of hatred is something i knew i found when i acknowledge Jesus in my life as my very personal Lord and Savior. He became my everything and all that i am to need.
_having Psalm as my life verse, here's my life's motto, do what is right, and God will do what was left.
