Look at the Spectacular

Some things impress and fascinate us because their existence seems incredible and spectacular. Some things give us a feeling of greatness, power, and mystery…

We look at nature and are amazed by the size of the great animals; we are astonished by the huge ocean or an interminable desert. And we get even more dazzled when we think about the sky, the stars, and the universe.

And if our hearts and minds are open, we also notice greatness, power, and mystery in tiny things.

We look at our hands and see fingerprints. A unique and unequaled draw not repeated in any person (alive, who has lived or will live). The small ants can carry objects heavier than them. And the bees who have an ingenious system of honey production.

Our vision must be open to the small great miracles we experience daily: wake up, come back home at dusk, have food, have a house…

Many are the blessings we receive from God, but sometimes, we forget their value. We blindly seek the spectacular, the fantastic, and the unimaginable, and despise what is right in front of our eyes.

Each of the Lord’s gifts should be treated with the highest esteem and appreciation because they sustain and support us to achieve greater and greater miracles.

Psalm 23:6

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Out of the Way

Those who walk in the Lord's ways,

Receive his love every day.

From all devastation, God protects them,

Delivering all the enemies in his hand.

 

There is nothing that could touch the anointed one,

The Lord protects him from everything and everyone.

The Lord is ahead of him in all his ways,

Holding his hand and protecting him night and day.

 

If the person leaves that good direction,

God will not be pleased with this action.

He will remove his protection over that person,

It will cease his mighty protection.

 

About him, all the enemies will come,

They will take off all his possessions.

The person will not be able to do anything,

God is no longer protecting him.

 

It is terrible to deviate from the Lord,

Nothing is worse than living without his love and favour.

For those who do this, there are painful ways,

And he will be mocked because of his disgrace.

 

There is a manner to stop all bad happenings,

The person must show regret for his sins.

And he needs to confess them to God,

The person will be forgiven and blessed by the Lord.

 

To the ways of the Lord, it is needed to come back,

So every kind of evil will turn back,

And from all evils, the Lord will always protect.

Demonstrating Gratitude

We have to be faithful to the Lord,

He already has blessed us a lot.

He gives us life every day,

He gives us daily bread all day.

 

To God, we can promise something,

As was said, we must do everything.

We cannot promise things in vain,

We must not have falsehood in our heart.

 

If a grace the Lord has given you,

And a commitment with God was made by you,

Everything that your heart said, you have to do,

On the commitment to the Lord, you must be faithful.

 

We must give the best for the vote to the Lord,

We did not receive the worst from God,

A pleasant sacrifice, we must do,

Being honored in the time to be grateful.

 

The thanks are very important,

Because it shows that we are not arrogant.

It shows that from the Lord, we are dependent.

And we are conscious of all our commitments.
