'Let me live to praise You; may Your judgements sustain me' (Psalm 119:175).

Our lives are not our own to do as we please, it is God who gives life and we should live to praise and give Him thanks. Are you not grateful for life? Are you not grateful that in Christ we can have  hope of a better and more glorious life with Him? Sin has deformed our life and separate us from God, but His love and grace is greater than sin; and it is Christ who has restored and reconciled us back to God. We have so much to praise and thank God for. We all need to see God and accept His salvation. We need to ask Him to instruct us in the way to go and to help us in our struggles to overcome sin and practice holiness.   The world we live in is in a state of great confusion; many storms are brewing and many are now raging. We who trust and have our hope in God, ought to lift up our eyes to the judgements of God and let it sustain us. We must praise God! Let praise to the Almighty God be our lifestyle, let love for God help us to live a holy life and through the aid of the Holy Spirit inspire praise to others. Learn to praise God in every situation. In conflict and opposition praise Him; in times of oppression give praise; in sickness,  distress, anguish and pain, praise God; in the good times and happy moments give praise Him. In our service to God, live to praise Him. David prayed to God to let him live to praise Him and that His judgement may sustain him. He longs for God and wants to live in praise to Him, even though he was going through the raging storms of his left. He wanted God to strengthen him so He could praise Him. We too must follow sooth in our praise to God in difficult times. Let Gods word be our grounds for hope in times of trouble as we reach out for God's help. In our lives let prayer be our breath, thoughts of God bring gladness, sweetness and peace to our hearts and our love for God grows heavenwards and across to one another. Live in praise to God as you do the great work He has called you to do.

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...

 '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...

'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...
