'The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary...' (Isaiah 50:4).

All around us we see people suffering; people are lonely, worried, perplexed, depressed, in a state of confusion, having  mental health issues, indebtedness; which are due to adverse circumstances. Let us search out these suffering ones and speak a word of comfort to their hearts. There are people struggling from poverty, having to labour hard for very low wages, unable to provide the necessities of life for themselves and their families. They see  no way out or hope of a better future, and are carrying these heavy burdens without support. We need to reach out and sympathise with them through these trying times - through their heartaches and disappointments; with compassion, seek to help them where we possible can or where we can point them in the right direction for help. In this time of pandemic, where we are in lockdown, many have lost their jobs; their businesses; loved ones; their finances in shambles; some have lost hope. By reaching out with genuine concern and compassion, it will open up a way to help them. Then you're able to speak to them of God's promises, praying with them and inspire them with hope. God has instructed us to encourage one another, to bring hope to the afflicted and sorrowful; to those who are also weary  of sin and looking for change, but do not know how. Christ himself came to set us free from the burden of sin, and to suffer at a high cost for us - His life. He never shrink from it, because He knows that His cause will triumph at last. So let us speak a word in season to help those who are sin sick and weary. Let us speak as Jesus would speak and act as He would act; because He is our example to follow. We too might be going through similar circumstances that may cause us distress, disappointment, but our hope is in Christ Jesus who gives us the assurance to trust God. However, God needs us to help others have the blessed hope in Him, so they too can experience His love. We all need Jesus, He is our only hope of a better life and eternity.

Have a wonderful day and a bless 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...
