 '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...

 '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 ...
