Tanglaw (audio devotional) from CBN Asia

It is God Himself. Ganun din sa atin. When life seems unfair and when envy begins to creep in, let us not be quick to react or complain. Instead, let’s pause and enter the presence of God. He will not only correct our perspective, but will also comfort and heal our wounded hearts. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Life goals. Ito ’yung mga pangarap at ambisyon natin — mga bagay na gusto nating maabot sa buhay. Magkakaiba ang life goals natin, depende sa ating values, interests, and situations.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Try to imagine this: Naglalakad ka sa ilalim ng matinding sikat ng araw. Ang init! Pagdating ng bahay, anong una mong hahanapin? Hindi ba isang bote ng malamig na tubig? Kailangan mong makainom ng isang baso ng malamig na tubig para mapawi ang iyong uhaw. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Naranasan mo na bang pagkagising sa umaga, bago magkape at umalis ng bahay, ay lumapit muna kay Jesus para sabihin sa Kanya ang lahat ng concerns mo? All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Nahihirapan ka bang mahalin ang mga taong ’di kamahal-mahal? Or have you ever found yourself struggling to love those who have betrayed you? Hindi ka nag-iisa. It’s not natural for us to love people who hurt us. Mas gugustuhin pa nga natin to cut ties with them. Pero gusto ng Diyos na mahalin natin sila.

Physical beauty fades. Balang-araw, kukulubot ang ating balat, manghihina ang mga buto o mamumuti ang ating buhok. Habang nagkaka-edad tayo ay part ng natural process ang pag-age ng ating katawan. Tumitingin ang tao sa panlabas na anyo, pero ang Diyos ay tumitingin sa ating puso (1 Samuel 16:7). All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Barado na naman ang lababo ni Anna. At eto na naman ang kanyang asawang pilit na nagtutubero to fix the problem. “Paano makakabara ang mga maliliit na  tira-tirang kanin at ulam, eh ang laki naman ng butas ng drainage ng tubig?” reklamo ni Anna sa asawa. “Ang mga maliliit, kapag 'di agad natanggal, namumuo at bumabara. It’s the little things,” sagot ni Fred. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc....

Financial concern ba iyan? Health problems? Or a strained relationship? Even if it knocks you down for a moment, be sure to get back on your feet.

We may not be aware of it, but God has called us to live extraordinary lives. Ayon sa The Message version of the Bible, we ought to be like crystal goblets and silver platters that are used for special occasions and not waste cans and compost buckets used to take out garbage; while The New Living Translation reminds us to keep ourselves pure so we can be a special utensil for God’s honorable use. ...

Controversial, divisive, and inappropriate — that's how we can describe this set-up. Dala na rin siguro ng lack of meaningful connections kaya nabuo ang mga ganitong serbisyo. We are wired to be social beings. Nilikha tayo to relate to others and to build connections.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Are you feeling ignored, rejected, or worthless? All you have to do is glance at the sky and realize that God is looking down on you from heaven.

But the Lord Jesus Christ teaches us a lesson on having the right perspective about children. Totoo naman na may mga event na nararapat lang for adults, but for events celebrating the family, church, and God, it's always better to let children be a part of them.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Sometimes God’s response may seem harsh to us, pero ito ay dahil may plano Siya na higit sa ating pinapangarap. Wala Siyang ginagawa na hindi love-driven. He always has our best in mind. He always acts in love. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Do you feel “trapped” in situations where you are tempted to agree with the majority and not with God? Maybe you have to lie to get out of trouble? Instead of compromising your faith, stand strong. Ask the Lord to give you the courage to say NO and trust Him for the outcome of your decision to honor Him.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Ang Rosh Hashanah, o Bagong Taon ng mga Judio, ay tinatawag sa book of Leviticus na “Day of Trumpets” (Leviticus 23:24). Itinakda ito ni Yahweh para ipagdiwang ng mga Israelita sa unang araw ng ikapitong buwan.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Tradition na ng mga Pilipino ang maglinis ng bahay bago matapos ang taon. Aside from cleaning, normal din ang magpatugtog nang malakas at mag-ingay para itaboy daw ang malas at masasamang espiritu. As the new year starts, the motive boils down to wanting to start over and forgetting. Pero bakit kahit gawin ito ng marami, parang wala pa ring pinagkaiba ang nagdaang taon sa bagong taon?

It’s natural for parents to want the best for their children. There are a lot of ways to achieve that, like securing a life and educational insurance, pag-iipon, o ’di kaya ay pag-iinvest ngayon para may maipamana sa mga anak. Wais move, ’ika nga.

Christ’s birth is indeed “good news of great joy for all the people” because He would call all sinners to repent of their sin and return to God. And everyone who repents and receives His message will be saved. “Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10, ESV).   All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Are you familiar with the saying, “born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth”? That’s how children of kings or business tycoons are described. Contrast that with “wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12, NIV). That’s how the birth of Jesus is described. Instead of a doctor and nurses attending to the newborn king, it was sheep and other cattle that welcomed Him. All Rights Reserved, CBN...
