“…Pwede ka bang pumunta sa larangan ng isang paligsahan na walang matatalo, puro panalo? Dumarating yung panahon na natalo ka, dumarating din yung panahon na nananalo ka. Kailangan pagdumating yung panahon na talo ka, buong puso mo ring tanggapin dahil pinasok mo yang trabaho na yan eh.” Karamihan kasi sa mga tao yung faith nila sa Panginoon ay pang good times lang. Pero pag bad times katulad ng nangyari sa akin yung faith nila nababawasan, at nawawala pa minsan.” Pero ako, lalong nadagdagan.”

These are the words of a man you know in relationship with God…
Christianity is relationship with God; in the very beginning of the bible, before God gave His first commandment He first demonstrate relationship that is connected by faith and trust.
Have you ever wonder why God who knows everything would entrust His creation to Adam?
In Genesis 2
After days of creating everything from light and darkness, to land and oceans, to everything that has life. God entrusted His very creation that is pleasing to Him to someone whom He knew would eventually disobey Him.
It’s like entrusting your latest brand new iphone which cost you days of hardwork and overtime to a three years old kid.
I believe that this is God’s way to connect to Adam. Make Adam feel that God trust him. Just like every other relationship that we have trust is a vital ingredient. If trust is established everything follows.
It set-ups our faith then it aligns our will to God’s sovereign will…
For anyone who has faith in God’s sovereignty can simply shake-off unfavourable situations.
