 'My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord' (Psalm 104:34).

Communication is a necessity of Life!  It is needed in order for interaction between people. It is not a one way process. So when we speak to God, we need to listen to what He has to say to us. Many a time we just have a one way conversation with Him, not stopping to listen to what He has to say and miss His important answer to our prayers. We must spend time with the Lord through His Word, in prayers, in praise, in quiet moments to hear Him speaking to us, and in quiet meditation. We can meditate upon God for His faithfulness; His love; His mercies; on His work of creation; as our Saviour and Redeemer. We can contemplate His wonderful grace and reflect upon His word of truth. In so doing He recognised that our hearts are resting on the sure foundation of peace and hope. No one knows our hearts but the Lord. He knows the thoughts of our minds, whether good or evil. He knows if our hearts are truly looking to Him and understand the deep meditation of our inner being. Like the psalmist, we too can exclaim, "My meditation of him shall be sweet!" When we survey God's wonderful works and think of who He is, He will graciously  accept our notes of praise. In meditating upon the Lord our souls will be refresh and our hearts fill with gladness and  joy as we desire to know Him more. When we meditate upon the Lord, our minds will be strengthen and our thoughts more centred towards Him. The more we know of Him the more we will trust him and seek to know him more intimately. It is sweet to tell Him of our love in prayer and praise; to show gratitude for His mercies and His love; of His immutable promises; and to anticipate the time we shall meet Him face to face and dwell with Him for ever. Let us seek to meditate daily as we contemplate the character of our Lord, as revealed in the Word of God and be glad in Him.

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (Psalm 4:4). God knows everything about us, because he is God, our Creator and there is nothing that can be hidden from him. He knows the heart and the intents of the heart; Our thoughts, emotions, desires and motives, whether they be good or evil. He knows the godly from the ungodly, and have set apart those who are godly for himself, and will hear when they call unto him (verse 3). We are all called to be in a right relationship with God. Those who accept this call should have daily communion with Him through the study of His Word, prayer and supplications, allowing the Holy Spirit access in their hearts, that they might not wilfully sin against Him. We need to search our hearts daily and be silent before God as we contemplate his grace and his mercy towards us, and He will reveal Himself to us. When our enemies seek to do us harm, or people speak lies about us, simply look to Jesus and trus
