CE Life Verse of Daniel Day Sta. Maria

"Be wise my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him, that is taunting me."  

-Proverbs 27:11 

                                               I chose this life verse because of this very true, and practical wish of God. 

This verse is his wish to all mankind, especially for those who fear and love him. Long have Jehovah been taunted none other than his rebel angel, Satan. Since the fall of man at the Garden of Eden, Satan said that mankind is better off without Jehovah God. Satan declared that alone could rule us and that we only serve Jehovah because of our selfish interests, because of the blessings he gives us. 

As a God who loves and practices justice, he did not killed Satan immediately. He gave Satan the chance to prove himself. Jehovah God gave him time to test if his taunts were true. He allowed Satan to rule and own the earth, for "We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." 
1 John 5:19 states:

Across the years we have seen the failure of his corrupted system here on earth. From the cradle of civilization through the breakthrough of science and technology, up to this day mankind still suffer the same problems over and over again and it becomes more worse by the day.

Satan once taunted Job, he said that Job was only serving Jehovah because he received abundant material  blessings. Satan said that if he removes this blessings, Job will surely curse Jehovah face to face, that Job will rebel. Satan took all his riches , his house, his children, his friends, his wife and gave him a disgusting disease. But despite that, Job remained loyal. Job didn't even know that Satan was the one doing that to him, he thought that it was a test from God, to prove his loyalty.

That is what the verse is all about. I should be wise and make Jehovah's heart happy, so that I may prove Satan wrong. I must strive hard to please Jehovah God and serve him with all my mind, heart and soul! I try to read the Bible daily, attend christian meetings regularly and do the ministry with my 7.5 million brothers and sisters of Jehovah's Organization worldwide. We will do our best to prove Satan wrong!
