'Those who listen to instructions will prosper; those who trust in the Lord will be joyful' (Proverbs 16:20).

Every day we are faced with decisions and situations that are sometimes overwhelming. How do we handle them? Are we fearful? Look to others for help? Look to self? Or do we hand them over to Jesus? If we look to anyone else than Jesus we will fail. When we put our trust and confidence in God, believing that nothing is too hard for Him and that He cares about all our concerns, we become joyful. We ought to cast ourselves at God's mercy and promises, because we cannot do anything without Him. We need to depend on God's blessing more than our own efforts and be wise when choosing any course of action. We should study God's Word and apply it faithfully to our lives, never handling those decisions and dilemmas we face without trust in God. He will reward us with spiritual happiness. We should learn to trust in God and delight in doing our duty toward Him, it brings us happiness. Our assurance of safety and salvation is only in God, and should lead us to trust Him and listen to His instructions. We should never rely on our own wisdom or strength for anything in life; it will only bring despair in the end. When we put our trust in God, He will not let us down or abandon us. He give His faithful children the Holy Spirit to guide and build them up, and to shed His love in their hearts; that nothing would be able to separate them from His love. Let us therefore, with all wisdom, listen to the instructions of God through His Holy Words and trust Him with all our hearts, so we can be joyful in the Lord.

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
