 '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🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
