 'The works of the Lord are great, sought out all them that have pleasure'
(Psalm 111:1).

When we love God we will obey him and seek to delight in His handiwork which is so great. The works of the Lord are great! When we look at His creation we marvelled; we stood in awe of the wonders of it all, at the immensity and variations of the works of his hand. In nature, we see the mountains with its different contours; the great oceans and seas ebbing and flowing to the command of God; the plants, flowers and fruits in their varieties and blend of colours; the function and facilities of the various animals; and man, the crowning jewel created wonderfully and beautifully in the image of the Creator, of which we cannot fathom the make up of the human body and function. We see the works of the Lord in his providence, as ruler of the whole universe. How great is the works of the Lord? We cannot fail to behold God's infinite wisdom and power in all of creation and His providence, or even to comprehend them. When we seek to find pleasure in the works of the Lord, we will search to understand through His Word, through nature, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and through prayers as we connect to the Almighty God. We will see His mercy, his love and kindness open before us in a way we could never imagine. In all the works of the Lord, by far the greatest is the works of redemption. It reveals the whole character of God. His love, his mercy, his truth, his justice and grace towards us which attributed to the death of His Son for our salvation. God is worthy to be praise; we must seek to glorify and honour him. There is nothing in which to compare His work. Our works are great in comparison to the works of others, but the works of the Lord are incomparable. Let us seek to find pleasure in the works of the Lord as we diligently sought or ponder them; remembering this promise, "All things shall work together for good to them that love God." Let us give God the highest praise and thank him with our whole heart for His marvellous works and for His saving grace.

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...
