 'In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul' (Psalm 94:19).

The Lord is our Fortress and our Rock in whom we  must take refuge. When you are experiencing anxiety or surrounded by great anxiety, you ought to turn to the Lord for help. Our help comes from Him, who made the heavens and the earth. The word of God said, "Be anxious for nothing...with prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let our request be made known unto God" (Philippians 4:6).  God will take care of our needs, therefore we have so cause to worry and be anxious. But if we do get upset and is beside ourselves at times, we know we can turn to God; He will calm us down and cheer us up. In His love we can find great relief and joy. In the multitude of our thoughts  - the many anxious thoughts we may be jostling with, we can find consolation only in God. No matter how much pain and affliction you might be going through, or the pressures that life  brings, God the fountain of all happiness will comfort and delight your soul. He is our only reliance; and take us from being worried to being happy. There may be lots of uncertainties, but we don't have to fear because we have God. When God is in our heart, we have His strength and we can lean on Him, there is no need to be afraid. God is our Rock where we can find comfort, strength and peace. His comfort is greater than all our troubles. We can therefore, rest assured in His comfort as our Father, in Jesus as our Saviour and Redeemer and the Holy Spirit as our Helper. We can rest in the  comfort of the Godhead, knowing that all things work together for good to them that love God. When you are face with anxiety or stress - a multitude of thoughts that may seem like you're doubting God, encourage yourself in the Lord, as you find shelter in Him. Be motivated by His love as you trust and run to Him. Let His comfort delight your soul.

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...

'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...
