Sabi sa dictionary ang "Problem" is any question or matter involving doubt, uncertainty or difficulty. Ibig sabihin ang problema ay mahirap, walang kasiguruhan, at namumunga pa ng maraming tanong.
Pero bakit nga ba nagkakaproblema ang isang tao? Well, most of the time it is a fruit of our wrong decisions at yung iba naman kapag ginagawa nating problema ang hindi naman natin dapat problemahin.
Our life is designed to be simple but we tend to complicate it - ang sabi sa JEREMIAH 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Kung pag-aaralan lang nating mabuti ang plano ng Diyos --- life could be a lot easier.
Heto ang mga ilang 'Thoughts to Ponder'
1. Let's change our perspective / Magbago tayo ng paraan ng pag-iisip. ROMANS 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
--- lumalaki o lumiliit ang isang problema sa kung paano natin ito tinitingnan. kung masyado rin tayong overwhelm ng problema hindi na tayo nakakapag-isip ng tama.
2. See problems as blessing - ang sabi sa JAMES 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
--- kung nahihirapan man tayo dahil sa dami ng problema, lagi nating tingnan na this is an opportunity for us to become a better person.
3. Learn to unload - 1 PETER 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
--- madalas kinakaya natin lahat ng problema, madalas mayabang tayo dahil pakiramdam natin hindi natin kailangan ng tulong. Ayaw nating lumapit kay God for so many reasons. But the truth is, kailangan natin Siya. Madalas mas gusto nating humingi ng tulong sa iba pero nakakalimutan natin yung tunay na nagmamalasakit sa tin - si God. Kung matutunan lang nating ibigay sa Diyos ang mga problema natin --- eh di wala ng mabigat.
4. Pray - PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
--- ito ang best weapon natin to overcome our problems and to hinder problems.Si God lang makakapagbigay sa atin ng totoong kapayapaan. He is the only one who can calm the storm.
Kung may hinaharap man tayong problema sa kasalukuyan, maaari nating subukan ang mga nabanggit o maari ding buksan natin ang bible dahil mas marami pa tayong matutunan dito.
God bless.
