'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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
