 'They also that erred in  spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine' (Isaiah 29:24).

The Jews erred concerning God's truth and His ordinances; concerning Christ, his work and office, choosing the traditions of men over the Word of God. The Gentiles lacked understanding of his Word and erred in spirit of His truth. God was saying to them then and is speaking to us now, who may have chosen the traditions of men over the word of God, to come to spiritual understanding of Christ and His work of salvation for mankind. We need to be reminded that unless God gives understanding and knowledge, man will forever err and murmur against him. In the past when God's people murmured against him, it sometimes leads to rebellion, which God hates. God is saying to His people who have been murmuring against His prophets and His faithful teachers, that they shall receive knowledge of His truth and will accept instructions that will lead them to become obedient and submissive to His will and purpose. Here we see the wonderful mercy of God revealed. He seek to bring back into the right path those who are unworthy, and makes them partakers of his divine love. Have we at times murmured against God and his laws? Well,  when we come to understand more of God and His love, we will be more susceptible in accepting His instruction of His truth and will have nothing but praise and Thanksgiving on our lips for Him and his marvellous work. If we are ignorant of and erred from His truth, it can lead us to sin against God. Therefore, let us be desirous of studying His Word, searching the Scriptures daily that testify of Christ; in prayer and supplication unto God, desiring full understanding of His truth and allowing the Holy Spirit to be our teacher and guide.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
