Devotional - 15th May 2020

'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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
