They will be my people, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child. – Malachi 4:1(NLT)
GOD’S SPECIAL TREASURE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you realize how important you are to Christ?
He cherishes every detail in your life
He wants to protect and ensure your salvation
He pleads you to listen to his word and be in relation.
God considers you as his child, his treasure
He wants you to obey and bring him pleasure
Like any other parent, he spares those who are obedient
Seek his will and follow it and he will show you his radiance.

When you join a club or an organization, one thing that people will want is the guarantee that they will grow or gain something out of being part of it. This is why we become members of a group. When I joined a cycling club back in the Philippines, I did so in order to improve my cycling skills and challenge myself to beat my own record and be better at it. I was the only woman cyclist in a fifty-member club. I felt special knowing that I can be protected and gain skills from this club.
The bible says that we are God’s special treasure and that he promises protection to those who obey him.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for making me part of your family.
REFLECTION
Do you treasure yourself as God treasures you?

For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord. – Habakkuk 2:14(NLT)
AWARENESS OF GOD’S GLORY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you look at the skies and get reminded of your creator?
Has someone blessed you today and made you feel better?
Did you experience a breakthrough that was unexpected?
Was a prayer answered that made you so joyful and excited?
Have you wondered how the sea was filled with water?
Did you have an awareness of God’s magnificence and power?
For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will see God’s glory
Bask amidst God’s creation and you will experience true beauty.

So many people are living like zombies. They wake up, do their routines, rush to work, go back home, eat, sleep. They have no time to even look at the wonderful creation of God. They don’t stop to look and enjoy what God has given them in nature. They miss out the drama that the clouds bring against the sky in a stormy day. They hardly even see the sun dropping down at the horizon and show off it’s colorful reflections in the sky. They hardly go out of their boxed life to see God’s glory through their surroundings. The bible says that we will be filled with awareness of God’s glory as the waters fill the sea.
PRAYER
Lord, let me remember to look at all your wonderful creation.
REFLECTION
Why do people miss out the good stuff from God?
