God's Deepest Secrets
"That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.' But it was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets"
(1 Corinthians 2:9–10, NLT)
Who in your life do you share your deepest secrets with? Most people only share their inner thoughts with those who are closest to them; people they trust or people they've gone through experiences with. Do you know who God shares His secrets with? The people who are closest to Him.
God wants to share His deepest secrets with you. He wants you to know what He thinks about you. He wants you to know about the plans He has for you. He wants to show you things you've never seen, heard about or even imagined. When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, not only are you His child, but you are also His friend. You are His closest companion. He wants to walk with you, talk with you and share with you.
This passage goes on to say, "Who can know a man's thoughts except his own spirit?" As believers, God's Spirit lives inside of us, revealing to us His very own heart. What a wonderful, amazing thought — we can know God's thoughts because we are one with Him. Open your heart and allow Him to share His deep secrets with you today!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I am so humbled that You call me friend. I am honored to be connected with You and invite You to share Your heart with me. I surrender all that I am to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Article : Sejarah Vespa
Begitu Anda mendengar nama "vespa", yang langsung terbayang adalah sebuah motor keluaran pabrikan Italia bergaya retro dan terkesan romantis.
Bentuknya yang "gendut" dengan garis-garis melengkung di body makin terlihat cantik dan mengundang lirikan mata tiap kali melintasi jalan-jalan perkotaan.
Saat ini, ada banyak sekali pengguna vespa, baik di ibukota hingga ke pelosok pedesaan. Bagi warga Italia, vespa merupakan simbol dari awal bergeraknya industri besar mereka, khususnya dalam menyokong Perang Dunia ke II. Desainnya yang simpel merupakan refleksi gaya dan inovasi khas Italia.
Namun, tahukah Anda bahwa Piaggio awalnya bukan memproduksi motor, melainkan pesawat terbang? Jika Anda masih mengernyitkan dahi pertanda bingung mengenai fakta tadi, kini saatnya bagi Anda untuk menyimak sekilas tentang sejarah vespa.
Lagipula, jika Anda memang berniat membelinya atau memang sudah ada satu di garasi rumah, tentu Anda akan lebih "sayang" pada motor ini jika sudah lebih mengenalnya, bukan?
•Awal Sejarah Vespa•
Berbicara mengenai sejarah vespa maka perjalanan kita dimulai hingga beberapa ratus tahun yang lalu, tepatnya pada tahun 1884, dimana seorang pria Italia bernama Rinaldo Piaggio mendirikan sebuah perusahaan peralatan kapal, rel kereta, dan kereta api di Genoa, Italia.
Perusahaan ini makin berkembang ketika mulai memproduksi pesawat terbang dan kapal laut, khususnya pada saat dimulainya Perang Dunia I pada tahun 1914. Agar jumlah produksi bertambah, maka Rinaldo membangun lagi sebuah pabrik di Pisa, tepatnya pada tahun 1917. Empat tahun berselang, ia kembali membangun sebuah pabrik pesawat terbang di Pontedera, Italia.
•Vespa sebagai Alat Transportasi•
Sejarah vespa mulai benar-benar terjadi tepat setelah Perang Dunia II berakhir. Saat itu, berbagai macam krisis sedang melanda seluruh dunia, termasuk di Italia. Enrico Piaggio, anak dari Rinaldo Piaggio, mengambil alih perusahaan Piaggio dan mulai meninggalkan produksi pesawat terbang dan kapal yang telah dirintis oleh sang ayah.
Enrico bersama Corradino D'Ascanio, seorang perancang pesawat terbang andal, mulai memikirkan untuk membangun sebuah alat transportasi roda dua berlandaskan konstruksi pesawat terbang. Hal ini dapat terlihat dari roda depan yang mengambil konstruksi roda pesawat terbang dengan sistem monoshock guna memudahkan dalam mengganti kedua ban.
Untuk material atau bahan body-nya sendiri, ia memilih alumunium yang juga merupakan bahan yang digunakan untuk pesawat terbang. "Sambra Una Vespa" (terjemahan: Terlihat Seperti Tawon)! Begitulah komentar Enrico begitu ia melihat hasil karyanya untuk pertama kali.
Tak lama kemudian, Enrico mulai meluncurkan produksi vespa pertamanya pada tahun 1945, dengan jumlah 35.000 unit. Ternyata, sangat sukses di pasaran! Pada 10 tahun pertama, Piaggio telah memproduksi hingga satu juta unit motor vespa.
Berkat konstruksinya yang kokoh serta keunikannya tersebut, kini nama vespa makin mendunia dan tersebar di mana-mana dengan berbagai jenis serta seri yang berbeda. Meski memiliki jenis yang tak sama, vespa tetap saja tak meninggalkan ciri khas yang telah dibangun dari sang pendirinya.

You Have The Power
"The tongue has the power of life and death..."
(Proverbs 18:21, NIV)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Our words have the power to lift people up or push people down. We can say something to make others feel better about themselves or make them feel worse. It's amazing what a simple compliment will do. When you tell someone "You look nice today," or "Great job on that presentation at the office," or "I really enjoy working with you," those simple words will put a spring in their step and brighten their day. It doesn't take much time and doesn't cost you anything, yet with your words, you can bless their life.
That's the power God has given each one of us. Every day we should have a goal of finding at least one person that we can encourage. Let's be free with our compliments. Point out what somebody is doing right, not what they are doing wrong. There is already enough pushing people down. Let's make it our business to lift people up, to brighten their day, to make them feel better about themselves. Remember, your words are seeds. When you deposit life and blessing into others, that's what you'll reap in your own life in return!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, thank You for filling me with Your life-giving power. I choose to use my words to bless others and glorify You. Show me ways to sow seeds of life into others. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Speak As The Oracles Of God
"If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God..."
(1 Peter 4:11, NKJV)
When God wants to speak to people on earth, do you know how He does it? Most often, He speaks through His people. He uses our voice to bring life, healing and hope to others. When you reach out to someone, when you're kind and speak encouragement, God's voice is blended with your voice. Your words become His words. The natural takes on a supernatural. That's why you can say something ordinary, something simple like "You look beautiful" or "You can make it," and it's life changing to the other person. To you it's nothing, but when God takes your natural and puts His super with it, it can impact that person's destiny.
Today, remember, you are God's voice in the earth. When you speak to others, declare what God would say about them. Let your words be used to bring life, hope and blessing. Speak as the oracles of God and be His mouthpiece everywhere you go.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing and using me. I surrender every area of my being to You. Use me to be a blessing to others. Give me Your peace, strength and joy as I keep my mind stayed on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Let The Encouragement Flow
"Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up"
(Proverbs 12:25, NLT)
When you see someone who is struggling, a co-worker who is discouraged, a friend who is not up to par, how do you respond? Our words can be what keeps a person going; our compliments can put a spring back into their step. Now more than ever, we need to automatically let the encouragement flow. We need to tell others how much we love them, how we value them, and tell them that they are talented and creative. Always remember, with your words you carry life-giving water. You carry hope, healing, encouragement and new beginnings, and you can pour it out everywhere you go.
Today, choose to speak encouragement. Choose to speak victory and faith. Instead of telling people what they're doing wrong, instead of pointing out all their faults, find what they are doing right. Focus on the good. There are already enough critical, judgmental people in the world. Let's be people who lift up others and restore them. Let's be the light of Jesus in the world.
