PSA 71: Para sa mga Feeling ‘End of Season Sale’ Na ang Buhay — Pero si Lord, Strong Refuge Forever!

✨ Christian Lifestyle Tips

  1. Be the Weird but Blessed Portent (v.7)
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Huwag kang ma-shookt kung tingin sa’yo ng iba ay “hala, bakit siya ganyan?!” or parang walking telenovela ng trials. Chill lang — kasi sa Bible pa lang, legit na na ang believer = enigma. In short, ikaw ang “plot twist” ng Diyos sa mundong sanay sa chismis at instant gratification.

  2. Shift + Alt + BUT YOU (v.7b)
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Ang sikreto ng psalmist? Hindi siya stuck sa     pity party. Every time nagka-drama, may “BUT YOU, Lord” reset button siya. Para kang nag-a-alt-tab from anxiety window to refuge mode.

  3. Keep Your Mouth Full (v.8)
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Kung laging puno ang bibig natin ng milk tea, ramen, o Marites updates, dapat mas lalo pang puno ng     praise playlist. Isipin mo: “God’s bread is always in your mouth” sabi ni Spurgeon. So kung may “mouth fill” ka daily, dapat praise over cheese-mis.

  4. When Strength is Low, Don’t Go Solo (v.9)
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Feeling mo “lowbat ka na” (physically or spiritually)? Wag mong i-ghost si Lord. Hindi siya “cast-off” type. Kahit old age na or tired AF, refuge pa rin siya. Parang unlimited data plan — walang expiry.

  5. Haters Gonna Speculate (v.10–11)
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Kapag sinasabi ng enemies (or bashers) na, “God left you na, bro, wala kang backup,” remember: that’s fake news. If Jesus Himself heard that lie on the cross, huwag ka magulat kung marinig mo rin. Pero spoiler alert: hindi pa tapos ang story mo — kasi si Lord mismo ang     plot armor mo.

✨ Jesus > Better Possession ✨

Oy, Promises, Problems, and a Portable Water Skin (Genesis 21:13–17)

Genesis 21:13 “Nu, don’t kvetch, Avraham. Even Ishmael—the boychik of the shifkha (slave woman)—I’ll make him a nation, ’cause, nu, ื–ืจืขืš hu, he’s your offspring. Oy gevalt, family trees come with many branches!” Genesis 21:14 “So Avraham, the early-riser tzadik, packs a survival kit: one lechem-to-go, one BotaBag 1.0 full of water, plops it on Hagar’s shoulder like a holy hiking backpack, says ‘shalom, good luck,’ and—poof!—sends her wandering into Be’er-sheva wilderness, aka GPS signal dead zone.” Genesis 21:15–16 “And when the BotaBag runs dry (classic desert problem), Hagar benches the kid under a bush—like, ‘Stay here, sweetheart, Mama needs a cry break.’ She schleps a bowshot away, kvetches, ‘I can’t watch this!’ and bursts into full Middle Eastern melodrama weeping.” Genesis 21:17 “But Hashem goes, ‘Hagar, ma kara lach? ืžื” ืœืš , don’t panic. Chill! I heard the boy’s voice—yes, even dehydrated kids still kvetch loud. Fear not, I got this.’” ๐Ÿ• Commentary God blesses I...

The LOL Baby Boom of Abraham & Sarah (Genesis 21:5–8)

Image
Verse 5 “ Un Avraham was a hundred years alt when his son Yitzchak came out screaming like a shofar at 3 AM. Oy vey, a centenarian changing diapers? That’s emunah!” Commentary: Gill says Abraham was exactly 100, not 99 and three-quarters. He had already applied for senior citizen discounts, and now suddenly, he’s shopping for baby formula at Costco. Takeaway: Faith means believing Hashem can make a TikTok dance go viral with a 100-year-old influencer. Impossible? Nu, exactly the point! Romans 4:19 “ He considered his body, which was as good as dead (translation: Grandpa energy, no more push-ups), and Sarah’s womb, which was on permanent vacation. Still, his faith didn’t collapse like WiFi during a typhoon.” Verse 6 “ And Sarah said: ‘G-d made me LOL! Whoever hears this, they’ll LOL too. First I laughed in disbelief, now I’m laughing because Hashem turned my menopause into mamash motherhood.’” Commentary: Rashi reminds us: when Sarah got her miracle, other barren women g...

So, Your Uncle’s Family Tree is Complicated

Image
Scripture Snapshot: Genesis 22:20–24 – Right after the near-sacrifice of Isaac, Abraham hears the family update: his brother Nahor has had kids… and among them is Bethuel, who fathered Rebekah (yep, future wife of Isaac). 1. God’s Timing is on Point ๐ŸŽฏ Abraham just had the wildest weekend ever (like, climb a mountain, almost sacrifice your son, angelic intervention wild). He’s probably thinking, “Wow… if Isaac had died, no grandkids, no covenant, no Messianic playlist for the nations.” And boom—right then, God drops the news: Isaac’s future wife has already been born. Like, God was five steps ahead the whole time. ๐Ÿ‘€ Gen Z takeaway: When life feels messy and dramatic (and your brain is like 27 browser tabs open with lo-fi beats in the background), remember: God’s already setting things up. He’s got divine foresight. 2. Nahor’s Family: The OG “It’s Complicated” ๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿค‍๐Ÿง‘ So Nahor’s got kids with his wife and his concubine. Yeah… the Bible doesn’t shy away from messy family ...
