'We praise you, God, we praise you, for Your name is near, people tell of Your wonderful deeds' (Psalm 75:1).

How can we praise God when things look bleak or in times of crisis? It is always easy to praise God and give Him thanks when things are good; when our love ones who are sick has recovered; our jobs are secured and our finances are great. But what about when things are not going as we planned, or want them to go? Can we still praise God? Of course we can. We must praise God at all times, good or bad. We must do so not  because of what He has done for us, but because of who He is .We must love to dwell on the precious name of Jesus and praise God. We need to celebrate Him and give Him thank for His unfailing love, His compassion, His faithfulness, His mercy, His peace, for Calvary, and His wonderous works. We need to give God thanks and praise always! Call out to Him in praise because He is near, to deliver us. He is Sovereign and we should praise His Sovereignty. God is at hand to answer our prayers and do wonders  - near is His name. Let gratitude for God spring up into our hearts for His infinite wisdom and goodness. Know that God is with you in your darkest days and is a very present help in trouble. Be encouraged today, reflect on the things God has done for you and look at nature and up in the sky and see how they proclaim who God is. Isaiah 55:10) says that, even the mountains and the hills will break forth with singing and the trees will clap their hands. How about you? Will you give God continuous praise?

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10). When we k
