'Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us' (Psalm 62:8).

Trusting in God at all times means, when things are going well and when things are not going so well, we must trust him. It is when you're facing difficulties in your life, that your character is developed, just by simply trusting God.

When you look around you today, there is so much uncertainty and insecurity, but when we realise that God is our fortress, we shall never be shaken - because He is our might rock and refuge. We must know God and trust him for ourselves. When we know and trust him it leads to inner peace, security and importantly, our salvation - having faith in God. God is deserving of our confidence at all times and we need to place our confidence in him at all times. In having confidence in God, we learn to trust him more and more. In times of prosperity, in times of adversity we must trust God. We must pour out our heart before Him. He already knows every trial, and troubles you are facing, but He desires for you to come to him and talk about it. So you can go to him and pour out your heart before him, in joyfulness. When your heart is full of grief, pour out your troubles before him, make him your counsellor and friend; tell him everything - every pain, every heartache, every fear. God is a refuge for you and me. He is a refuge for us in conflict, in our tribulation, a refuge of strength for the weak and hopeless; He is our only refuge - a safe and sure refuge whom we can take shelter in. I urge you to trust God wholeheartedly and pray as you have never prayed before for the battle we have ahead of us. It is only Jesus can help us, so hold on to him for dear life. He is our rock, our shelter and a solid place of refuge in our times of trouble.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 '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

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
