 'God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect' (2 Corinthians 22:33).

We all encounter difficulties, hardships and temptations at some point in our lives. Maybe for some of us on a daily basis. But it is our total reliance on God that will see us through these trying times. It is times like these we recognised that God is present; that He is right by our side. He is our strength and our present help; our power and strong tower; our way maker who makes our way perfect. Isn't God good to you? Then be thankful to Him always; align your will to His will; rejoice in God's goodness, having a heart ready at all times to praise Him for His goodness. It is in difficult times that we become overwhelmed and are in  need of a helping hand. Jesus is near us, bidding us to come to Him with all our burdens and difficulties. We can overcome these difficulties when we allow  God to clear the way; to go through that path He has open up for us. We must follow His word, keep on that pathway and  keep our faith steadfast in Him. When things seems to be going well for us, with our path clear having no form of obstacles present and we seem strong; let us not forget that it is God who is blessing us, who is strengthening and keeping us on the right path. It is not you or me, not our own strength or efforts or skills, but the blessings of God. Let God be your strength when you are weak and your power when you are powerless. Trust and allow Him to make your way perfect because His way is perfect.

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...

 '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.
