 'He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?' (Job 9:4).

Who can we liken unto God? For there is no one like him. He is the only, and the All wise and All knowing God; His understanding surpasses everything and is infinite. He sees and knows everything we do and say,  even the depth of our thoughts are known to Him. God is mighty in strength as He is wise. He is Almighty and All- powerful; as feeble sinful beings we cannot contend and strive with Him; He will conquer us. Those who try to contend with God by hardening themself against Him, will surely not prosper. Satan wanted to rejoice in the days of Job's afflictions, as he tried to get him to curse and speak ill of God.  But, instead Job honoured and spoke highly of God; of His wisdom and strength. This demonstrates how much Satan wants to destroy God's people. We have to know our God and allow the Holy Spirit to direct our steps. We must be willing to obey God and trust him implicitly; we must know and understand who He is and what He has done for us. When the enemy comes we must be ready with the armour of God as our protection. Pharaoh hardened himself against God and we saw his demise, as well as many others in the Bible. Let us not make the same mistake, by obstinately hardening our hearts against God or to provoke Him unto our own destruction. There is no one who can ever contend with Him and prosper. He is a God of infinite love, wisdom and power and we cannot hide anything from him. He knows everything and can do everything. Let us in our awareness, seek to honour and obey the All- wise; Almighty; All- powerful God, whose wisdom and strength are infinite. To love God is to know him and knowing Him, we will trust, honour and obey 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...

 '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...

 '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...
