'Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else' (Isaiah 45:22).

As sinners we are frail and helpless and cannot help ourselves. Our only help comes from the Lord, our Creator. We cannot save ourselves either; it is only through the blood of Jesus, as we look to Him the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Scripture says, "Look unto me." In other words, direct your attention to Me, the One who can save you. For I am God, listen to me! I am God and there is none else. God is merciful, kind, forgiving, compassionate,  and His love has no end. We can therefore be confident that He can save us; and trust in His amazing grace. We don't even deserve His love and His mercy, but His love covers us. Those who look to Him for salvation will be saved. Why? Because He is God and there is none like him. Isaiah 40: 28 says, "Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding." He is our infinite God who is never weary of hearing from us.
After Israel fail to be the light to the Gentiles and rejected the Messiah, God called the gentile nation to come to Him for salvation. All they had to do was believe and confess Jesus His Son, as their Lord and Saviour. Through the prophet Isaiah, God appealed to them to look to Him and be saved, because He is God and there is no other. God is inviting us all to do likewise and come to Him and be saved. He is calling us to spread the gospel of salvation to all ends of the earth to those who are dead to sin, that they may turn to God and be save. Let us be intentional in spreading the everlasting gospel with great urgency, that men, women and children can be saved from sin. So when Jesus returns we can go home with him and be with Him forever.

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

 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (Psalm 4:4). God knows everything about us, because he is God, our Creator and there is nothing that can be hidden from him. He knows the heart and the intents of the heart; Our thoughts, emotions, desires and motives, whether they be good or evil. He knows the godly from the ungodly, and have set apart those who are godly for himself, and will hear when they call unto him (verse 3). We are all called to be in a right relationship with God. Those who accept this call should have daily communion with Him through the study of His Word, prayer and supplications, allowing the Holy Spirit access in their hearts, that they might not wilfully sin against Him. We need to search our hearts daily and be silent before God as we contemplate his grace and his mercy towards us, and He will reveal Himself to us. When our enemies seek to do us harm, or people speak lies about us, simply look to Jesus and trus
