 'Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy' (Psalm 33:18).

God's eye is upon everyone, but is directed specially to all who fear him. We need not fear anything else!  We should learn to fix our eyes on Him in faith, as we hope in his mercy. As we walk in the fear of the Lord, the Holy Spirit will bring comfort to us and cheer our hearts. With gladness we will praise the Lord, having a sense of purpose as we lift our hearts to Him with joy and sensing His great love for us. The Lord watches over us; He guards us from danger when we fear and trust Him. He is indeed our security and provider; He knows our wants and needs; He sees our danger and protects us. He is our Saviour who has the power and ability to deliver and save us. Who then can be liken unto our God? The answer is, no one! "The eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him." The eye of His providence protects us from danger and supply us with the necessities of life. His eye of watchfulness watches over our good,  and guard us from evil as He grants us His grace. His eye is upon those who hope in his mercy. It is our hope in the mercy of Christ our Saviour, who pardons our sins and redeemed us with His blood, that help us to meet his eye. We recognise our need for Him and the hope of having eternity with Him and is encouraged to give up all for Him. Let us fear the Lord as we meet His eye in prayer; in praise and thanksgiving; in the study of His Word; in exercising our faith and in outreach, as we labour for the souls of men. Let nothing prevent you from seeing the eye of the Lord; whether in good times or in troublesome times. Be at peace today knowing Jesus cares, o yes He cares; and His eye is upon you.

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 ...
