HOW GREAT THOU ART

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

"Make Music For The Lord" -3rd Verse



"Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." -Psalm 33:3

Holy joy is the heart and soul of praise, and that is here pressed upon the righteous. Thankful praise is the breath and language of holy joy. Religious songs are proper expressions of thankful praise. Every endowment we possess, should be employed with all our skill and earnestness in God's service. His promises are all wise and good. His word is right, and therefore we are only in the right when we agree with it. His works are all done in truth. He is the righteous Lord, therefore loveth righteousness. What a pity it is that this earth, which is so full of the proofs and instances of God's goodness, should be so empty of his praises; and that of the multitudes who live upon his bounty, there are so few who live to his glory! What the Lord does, he does to purpose; it stands fast. He overrules all the counsels of men, and makes them serve his counsels; even that is fulfilled, which to us is most surprising, the eternal counsel of God, nor can any thing prevent its coming to pass.

I Am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made



"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." -Psalm 139:14

We cannot see God, but he can see us. The psalmist did not desire to go from the Lord. Whither can I go? In the most distant corners of the world, in heaven, or in hell, I cannot go out of thy reach. No veil can hide us from God; not the thickest darkness. No disguise can save any person or action from being seen in the true light by him. Secret haunts of sin are as open before God as the most open villanies. On the other hand, the believer cannot be removed from the supporting, comforting presence of his Almighty Friend. Should the persecutor take his life, his soul will the sooner ascend to heaven. The grave cannot separate his body from the love of his Saviour, who will raise it a glorious body. No outward circumstances can separate him from his Lord. While in the path of duty, he may be happy in any situation, by the exercise of faith, hope, and prayer.

Your Love by Eileen Kristine Abarra

The first time I saw you, I didn’t give you much attention
I look at you but didn’t give you importance
I’m really wondering why, you keep on following me
I do not understand what you want from me

Wherever I go, I find you and you always tell me what to do
You told me that you love me and you’re willing to give up everything
I just keep on thinking what you really want me to know
But I really do not understand what you mean

I was walking on a cold place and I was looking for a warm embrace
I never thought that you were just behind me
I was about to collapse but you caught me
Now I understand what you feel

I am very happy that I met you but I never thought you left me
You fulfilled your promise and you died because of me
I was then very sad like as flower that’s slowly dying
But eventually I realize, you didn’t left me
And you’re just up there looking at me

Developing Societies in the Information Age: A Critical Perspective By Alexander G. Flor: A POSITION PAPER


Feed forward information is the answer to the current turbulent environment.

In the world we are now living, we are operating under the presence and reliance of information. Nowadays, people are relying on the information that is passed on from one individual to another. In the present time and in the present problem that the world is facing, the most effective solution is the spreading of the information for the people to be aware of the things that are happening around and the possible effects if we continue to do the things that could worsen the problem. To cope with turbulent field environments, Wedemeyer (1978) suggests that feedforward information be employed to reduce uncertainty and increase equilibrium in the control process. Feedforward implies the anticipation of certain developments given certain situations and contexts. As early as 1980, Toffler declared: “It is becoming acceptable, in academic circles, to talk about the future. Before now, it seemed unscholarly, unscientific, and even unserious. Some of the new energies are pilling over into and influencing the social sciences, the humanities, and other disciplines, forcing them again and again to ask. What are the hidden side effects, the long range consequence of any action?.” Feedforward information is the product of anticipatory methodologies. Such information becomes invaluable to the planner, decision maker, or policy analyst for them to adapt to turbulent-field environments. Feed forward enables one to anticipate consequences of certain conditions or events in terms of lower order and higher order impacts.

SUMMARY:

• To cope with turbulent field environments, Wedemeyer (1978) suggests that feedforward information be employed to reduce uncertainty and increase equilibrium in the control process.

• Feedforward implies the anticipation of certain developments given certain situations and contexts.

• Feedforward information is the product of anticipatory methodologies.

• Feed forward enables one to anticipate consequences of certain conditions or events in terms of lower order and higher order impacts.


For example, Philippines is currently facing different problems in the different aspects of society. There are problems financially, morally, educationally, and a lot more. If we continue to deal with the current problems without implying feed forward information or implying the anticipation of certain developments given certain situations and context, the dilemma will still not be resolved totally. In solving the problems, we must learn to to foresee the possible effects of the proposed solution. Through feedforward information it helps to reduce uncertainty and increase equilibrium in the control process.

In conclusion, I truly believe in the power of feed forwarding. It enables us to realize and see closely the possible effects of our proposed solutions for the current problems that we are facing. Through feed forward inforation, we could reduce uncertainty.
