Siguradong super busy na ang karamihan sa atin because of the Christmas season. Marami tayong plans for vacation and celebration, but what if mabago ang mga plano natin? How would we react? Let today’s devotion inspire you as we continue our series “12 Days Before Christmas.”

Sinabi sa kanya ng anghel, “Huwag kang matakot, Maria, sapagkat naging kalugud-lugod ka sa Diyos. Makinig ka! Ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang sanggol na lalaki, at siya’y papangalanan mong Jesus. Siya’y magiging dakila at tatawaging Anak ng Kataas-taasang Diyos.

Lucas 1:30–32a

Na-experience mo na bang mabigyan ng assignment o task pero feeling mo hindi ka qualified para gawin iyon? O kaya naman parang masyadong mabigat ang task para kayanin mo? 

Isa sa binigyan ng napakabigat na task ay si Mary. Noong dinalaw siya ni angel Gabriel para sabihin na magalak siya dahil siya ay magdadalang-tao at manganganak ng sanggol na lalaki, naguluhan siya. 

Hindi agad na-gets ni Mary ang ibig sabihin ng balita.

The task of carrying a child and being a mother to this child was not in her plan. And this will be no ordinary child. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. He will be named Jesus, the promised King and Savior of the world.

Minsan may mga bagay tayong hindi pinlano para sa sarili natin pero ‘yun ang gusto ni Lord na mangyari. Minsan iibahin ni Lord ang plano natin because He has a better plan. Minsan naman ay may ipapagawa si Lord na sa tingin natin ay hindi natin kaya o hindi tayo qualified para dito, pero tayo ang pinili ng Diyos na gampanan ang papel na iyon.

Do you trust God enough to set aside or scrap your own plans to give way to His? Are you ready to obey God’s voice even if you feel unqualified or have no idea how to fulfill  His plans?

Kapag si Lord ay may ipapagawa sa iyo, magtiwala na ang presensya Niya ay kasama mo.

Kahit na super busy tayo, let’s find time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, at dito sa Tanglaw, we will help you do that. So join us again tomorrow for the continuation of our series “12 Days Before Christmas.”

LET’S PRAY

Father God, help me to trust in You with all of my heart and not on my own understanding. Give me a joyful heart as I submit to Your plans even when I don’t fully understand. Amen.

APPLICATION

May mga personal plans or ambitions ka bang sa palagay mo ay hindi pa fully surrendered sa lordship ni Jesus? May aspeto ba ng buhay mo na ikaw pa rin ang nasusunod at nagku-control? Submit them to God in prayer and let go.
