'But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works'  (Psalm 73:28).

In this world of sin there are many distractions. We lose sight of God and what He has done for us. We have to remove ourselves from some of these distractions and draw near to God. By doing so, it allows us to draw away from the worldly attractions and see the world in a new light through the lens of Jesus. We are sinners and by our nature we are far from God - being separated from Him; but thank God for Jesus, who bridged the gap when He died for our sins at Calvary. It is dangerous to be far from God, but even more dangerous to be afar off. God bid us to come near to him so He can save us, as we reap the benefits of being near to him. David said, "It is good for me to draw near to God." It should be the sentiment of our heart too. It will bring happiness to our souls when we draw near to God, knowing His presence is with us; His Holy Spirit draws us; supporting, comforting and strengthening our hearts. When we see and understand the works of God's hand, it should lead us to cleave to him; to be near him. Drawing near to God give us peace; we feel secure in him; we engaged ourselves in conversation with Him on a daily basis. We will trust Him because of our faith in who He is and give praise him as we declare all His works. We seek to draw near to God through our earnest and sincere prayers, being reverent and humble. Our prayer ensure success in our work with God. We also draw near to God by our study of His word, and through unity with Christ and  the Holy Spirit. Drawing near to God enables us to know him better, leading us to a better understanding with one another. Let us walk upon the path of our faith, as we surrender our hearts to God and submit our will to him, so Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

 '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...

 '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 ...
