Q: Unsa imong pinakaganahan kung naa ka sa 15

If I had said such things,

inyuhang balay/baryo/bukid? I would not be acting as one of your people.
16
I tried to think this problem through,
Ang uban siguro mu ingon nga unli foods.
but it was too difficult for me
Unli tulog. Unli laag. Unli tsika with friends. Unli 17
bonding with fam, etc. until I went into your Temple.
Then I understood what will happen to the wicked.
If here on earth we enjoy these things when
18
we are at home, how much more if we are at home You will put them in slippery places
in the presence of our God? and make them fall to destruction!
19
They are instantly destroyed;
they go down to a horrible end.
20
They are like a dream that goes away in the
Main Text: Psalm 73 (GNT)
morning;
God is indeed good to Israel, when you rouse yourself, O Lord, they disappear.
to those who have pure hearts. 21
2
When my thoughts were bitter
But I had nearly lost confidence;
and my feelings were hurt,
my faith was almost gone 22
3
I was as stupid as an animal;
because I was jealous of the proud
I did not understand you.
when I saw that things go well for the wicked. 23
Yet I always stay close to you,
4
They do not suffer pain; and you hold me by the hand.
24
they are strong and healthy. You guide me with your instruction
5
They do not suffer as other people do; and at the end you will receive me with honor.
25
they do not have the troubles that others have. What else do I have in heaven but you?
6
And so they wear pride like a necklace Since I have you, what else could I want on
and violence like a robe; earth?
26
7
their hearts pour out evil, My mind and my body may grow weak,
and their minds are busy with wicked schemes. but God is my strength;
8
They laugh at other people and speak of evil he is all I ever need.
things; 27
Those who abandon you will certainly perish;
they are proud and make plans to oppress others.
9
you will destroy those who are unfaithful to you.
They speak evil of God in heaven 28
But as for me, how wonderful to be near God,
and give arrogant orders to everyone on earth,
10
to find protection with the Sovereign LORD
so that even God's people turn to them
and to proclaim all that he has done!
and eagerly believe whatever they say.[c]
11
They say, God will not know;
the Most High will not find out.
12
That is what the wicked are like.
They have plenty and are always getting more.
13
Is it for nothing, then, that I have kept myself pure
and have not committed sin?
14
O God, you have made me suffer all day long;
every morning you have punished me.
 Theme: He is Home (HH)
What is it like to be at home in the presence of
God?
Was there ever a time that you asked God,
Lord why are things going well to them and not to
me nga wala man unta sila gaserve nimo?
You got jealous of the proud. They have
plenty and are always getting more. You nearly lost
confidence. Youve been through struggles and pain
that your faith was almost gone (v3)
They do not suffer pain, they are strong and
healthy; they do not have the troubles that others
have. Ga top gyapon sila in class bisag ga yar kada
gabii sa petron. Wala silay financial problems. Buo
ilang pamilya. Sige ra silag party bisag ting exam
pero wa gihapoy mga bagsak.
Perfect as you see them, but it was
illustrated in this text that these kinds of people are
so busy with all wicked schemes. They speak evil,
they curse people and they make plans to oppress
others. Naa pay usahay na they will present to you
some of their twisted principles and insights about
God just to make you waiver with what you stand
firm on. They will tempt to make you join them and
say, God will not know, He will not find out.
Tuod man naay times nga malingaw gyud
kas ilang ginabuhat. All of us siguro naka try na ana
noh. (insert mercury experience) But the thing is
nalipay lagi ka kauban imong circle of friends sauna
pero the happiness you felt back then, you know
nga temporary ra. Dili maka satisfy. Gakaibog ka sa
ilaa considering what you see ani nga mga tao. They
are what the society regards as cool, mao ni ang
in ang uso, nga kung di ka in ana pareha nila
wala kay fame, dili ka ma ilado You are just a filthy
good-for-nothing college guy/girl.
And in terms of hardships, the way you see
these people murag walay problema sige rag happy
happy unya ikaw dira kay perti na ka dagkog bugas
ug eyebags kay stressed na kayo. Worn out nas life.
In verse 14 it says, O God, you have made me
suffer all day long, every morning you have
punished me. It left you to wonder, Is it for
nothing, then, that I have kept myself pure and have
not committed sin? (v13)
And in v16-17 I tried to think this problem
through, but it was too difficult for you until I went
into your temple. Then I understood what will
happen to the wicked.
You have thought through these things but
you couldnt figure out its answers because it
wasnt meant for you to comprehend in the first
place.
Asa nimo makita ang tubag diay? Or rather,
kinsa ang tubag?
Naas imong balay. Unson man pag uli?
Simple lang. Di ka makauli kung di musugod ug
adto pauli.
1st principle: Go to Him (v17),
Go to Him, He is Home.
In our respective homes, pinalangga gyud ta
sa atong parents/relatives. Ipa feel gyud nila sa imo
nga gi mingaw sila nimo kay dugay mo wa gakita
nga bisan pag mag kinaunsa or kasuk an ka nila,
love gyapon gyud ka kay anak gud. How much
more when you are at home with God and in God,
You are His treasured possession (Deut 7:6). Go to
Him, coz even though youve been through
struggles and pain that your faith was almost gone,
you know that God heals and restores.
When God has brought you out of darkness
into His light, dili na ka maibog ana nila because
you know your value in Gods sight. Theyre
doomed for destruction if they will not repent and
continue their ways.
Go to Him, coz when you are at home, dili
na nimo kailangan mag yar, para magkabarda kay
kabalo ka nga sa tanan amigo/bestfriend nga naa ka,
si Lord gyud ang pinaka. Nga bisan pag galisod kas
kwarta, when you are with God ang tanan kay
abunda. Na bisan pag ingon sila lisod na imong
major or imong mga ES, dili lagi ka maextend kay
able si Lord mu provide ug enough nga wisdom.
Go to Him, He is Home.
2nd principle: Grow in Him (v21-24)
21
When my thoughts were bitter
and my feelings were hurt,
22
I was as stupid as an animal;
I did not understand you.
23
Yet I always stay close to you,
and you hold me by the hand.
24
You guide me with your instruction
and at the end you will receive me with honor.
With God youll receive instructions that
will make you grow as an individual. Unsaon nimo
pagkabalo nga sayop na imong ginabuhat? Read his
word. No instruction manual has ever been created
that could exceed the Bible because it was made to
contain everything we need in our journey with God
here on earth. Its made to answer every question
you have in mind.
If in this generation its more cool to read
whatevers in your news feed para makabalo sa
tanan gakahitabo sa imong friends kaysa mubasa ug
bible para makabalo sa iingon sa Ginoo then choose
to be different. Do the latter coz in the end youll
receive the honour that this earth cannot give (v24).
Naa pud usahay nga bisan gaklase, ga cr, ga simba,
or ga sturya si kuya sa front kay ga facebook. Haha
Ingon pas imong classmate, Ilugar pud na bes oi.
If a woman gives birth, whats the first thing
that the baby does when he/she comes out? Mag cry
diba. Bunalan sa doctor para muhilak para
makasulod ang hangin sa iyang lungs. Its the first
sign of life. That a new baby has been born to earth
with his/her earthly parents.
So if bunalan ka, daw muhilak its a sign of
life. Rejoice kay buhi ka! Haha You were meant to
grow up. Look at you now dako naka. Our spiritual
life is also designed to be like that. Ingon pas v22 I
was as stupid as an animal; I did not understand
you. Naa gyuy panahon nga di nato masabtan si
Lord. Feel nato stupid ta. Reconsider your
perspective. How you see things matter. Basin diay
your present situation is meant for your relationship
and reliance in Him to grow up. Nasayop lang ang
pag tan aw abi nimo gisilotan ka.
Dili ma kumpleto ang nutrition sa balay
kung wala ni sa stages. Haha
3rd principle: Glow in Him
What else do we have in heaven but Him?
Since we have Him, what else could we want on
earth? Our minds and our bodies may grow
weak, but God is the strength of our lives, he is all
we ever need (v25-26)
Oh diba. Di lang ka mu grow, mu glow
pagyud ka when you are at home sa iyang
presensya. Bisan stressed, kapoy, kay gwapa/gwapo
japun. Beauty under pressure. Tung anniv bisag
walay mga tulog ah, pag taplak sa make up ni kalit
ramag ka artista. Haha Kinsa ba gud nangalagad sa
Ginoo nga napangit. Tan awa ra daw gani nang
dagway sa imong tapad.
28
But as for me, how wonderful to be near God, to
find protection with the Sovereign LORD and to
proclaim all that he has done!
I believe that as as the Lords directive for
us this year is to put prayer groups in each
campuses and barangays in IC, He wants His light
to glow in us in order for us to go to those places
who are in darkness.
I want to share this dream of mine last night
nga nakamata gyud kog ahat nag apas sa ginhawa.
Giduolan na ko ni Honey kay abi niya naunsa ko. In
the dream, gilakag daw ko sa isa ka bata sa dalan
nga daghan green nga sagbot. Skinny kayo ang bata building of His kingdom. Hell support us in this
nangayog something para daw siya maka kaon kay guys. We also have His protection along the way.
gutom nadaw kayo gapakaluoy gyud siya nako.
Go, Grow, Glow. Let us all stay at Home in
Amazing unsa mamukaw ang Lord kay lahi biya
Him.
gyud akong giprepare for tonight. He lead me ani
nga chapter sa psalms which is devo nako last 20. Glory to God! He reigns.
And I know that He doesnt want me to do it on my
own. He needs workers for it. He needs us.

I believe that as we are all called to Go to

Him daily, Grow in Him daily, its also a season to
let His light Glow in us this year as He will shower
His favor along with us, doing the works for the
