11.12.08Self Portrait on Ohrid Lake in Macedonia
Here’s a self portrait I did in June, while I was in Macedonia. The photo was taken while I was on a boat on lake Ohrid. That is why the horizon is tilted.

06.25.08What Is A Good Investment on the Long Term?
Photo of an old gate guarding a monastery near Ohrid Macedonia
The earnings of the righteous
(the upright, in right standing with God)
lead to life,
but the profit of the wicked leads to further sin.Proverbs 10:16
This verse in Romanian says something like:
The righteous uses his earnings for life,
but the wicked one uses his earnings for sin.Proverbs 10:16
Those two different point of views. But I think that they work together. They do not contradict one another. The first one says that the earnings themselves, the type of profit we make, if you are righteous, helps us to go go on the good path. And if we are wicked will will produce some kind of black profit that buries us deeper in sin.
The other translations says that if we are righteous and we live accordingly to our name, then we will use all we have to do good. But if we are wicked we will find out delight in sin and we’ll do that by investing in sin, so sin more.
In the same time if I am training now and if I want to be righteous, to become a wise man, I have to invest in the real life, in my eternity. But if I invest in sinful activities, then I will become wicked. Actually…
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick!
Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?Jeremiah 17:9
All this means that our hart is already wicked. So what can we do to transform it into a loving and caring one? Well, the only way is to give my hart to God. I did, but the struggle continues. It happens with people to become saints the next day. But this does not seem to happen with me. I still have my war against sin and evil. The Devil is not just letting me alone. I pray everyday to have the strength to fight, even if sometimes I loose like I did yesterday.
We don’t have just money to invest, Time, sentiments, feelings are also available to be invested in a way or other.
So what can I do? What can we all do about this fight? Well, as the verse says, to continue to fight the good battle. To continue to invest in the eternal life and try not to invest in sin.

06.20.08The Trademark on all God’s Works is Love
Photo I took in Macedonia, on Lake Ohrid, when I went there for the IFES graduates conference in June
Yesterday I left unread one Psalm that I planned to peruse. Today I realized what jewel I lost . This is a real encouragement Psalm. It really helped me today to boost my trust in the Lord . Check it out.
1 I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! and I’ll bless your name into eternity.
2 I’ll bless you every day,
and keep it up from now to eternity.
3 God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough.
There are no boundaries to his greatness.
4 Generation after generation stands in awe of your work;
each one tells stories of your mighty acts.
5 Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking;
I compose songs on your wonders.
6 Your marvelous doings are headline news;
I could write a book full of the details of your greatness.
7 The fame of your goodness spreads across the country;
your righteousness is on everyone’s lips.8 God is all mercy and grace—
not quick to anger, is rich in love.9 God is good to one and all;
everything he does is suffused with grace.10-11 Creation and creatures applaud you, God;
your holy people bless you.They talk about the glories of your rule,
they exclaim over your splendor,12 Letting the world know of your power for good,
the lavish splendor of your kingdom.13 Your kingdom is a kingdom eternal;
you never get voted out of office.God always does what he says,
and is gracious in everything he does.14 God gives a hand to those down on their luck,
gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.15 All eyes are on you, expectant;
you give them their meals on time.16 Generous to a fault,
you lavish your favor on all creatures.17 Everything God does is right—
the trademark on all his works is love.18 God’s there, listening for all who pray,
for all who pray and mean it.19 He does what’s best for those who fear him—
hears them call out, and saves them.20 God sticks by all who love him,
but it’s all over for those who don’t.21 My mouth is filled with God’s praise.
Let everything living bless him,
bless his holy name from now to eternity!Psalm 145
I hope it was good encouragement for you as well, especially the second part.
