'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...

 '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...
