 '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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
