 'Thou openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire of every living things' (Psalm145 16).

All living things created by God have needs. However, man's needs also create desires. It is God who is our Provider and He promises to supply all our needs both physical and spiritual. God's goodness is great, it is His goodness and mercy that shall follow us all the days of our lives. When God open hIs hand all creation is satisfied. He makes the rain to fall and the sun to shine  upon the earth as He provides for the needs of every living thing. God does not give grudgingly, nor does He gives sparingly. In famine or of scarcity, He opens His hand, in good and bad times  His hand is open to satisfy us. For those who love God, He is the object of their desires. For those who seeks after righteousness, He is the object of their desire to be righteous. He will seek to fulfil those desires we are after. Whatever we desire to have of God, God will grant it to us. So when we hear the word of God, we ought to surrender ourselves totally to it, with a willingness to retain it in our heart and live according to it, as the Holy Spirit dwells in our heart. God is love and we love Him because He first loved us. So when we desire God, it is because He first desire us. Do you desire God? Is your desire to love God? Today, He is calling us to have the desire to come home to Him. Will you? Allow God to breathe Himself in you, to fill you with His love and your longing for righteousness. God is opening His hand to bless you, to give you the desires of your heart, to supply your longings. Won't you trust and believe in Him with all of your heart? Just know your heavenly Father knows what you are in need of before you ask him. But He wants to communicate with you and as you ask, your thoughts about your desires will be clearer.

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...

'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...

 '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 ...
