 'Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously' (Psalm 119:29).

When we know God and have an intimate relationship with Jesus, we will abhor sin in every form. Even though we know and accept the law of God, or may be teachers of it, we have to be careful not to fall in the traps of Satan.  We must be mindful that we are subject to a number of wicked thoughts and imaginations that can lead us away from the right path; except we allow God to take hold of us with His mighty hands. We must be reminded that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and against Spiritual wickedness in high places. We need constantly to pray to God for deliverance, to keep us from deceit, from pride and from anything of this world that will seek to lead us away from our heavenly Father.  We should not be complacent and think for one second that because we are saved by God's grace, that the Devil can win no more with us. We would be deluded as that would be dangerous thinking. David wanted not only to be kept from the way of sin, but also to have it kept from him. He did something about it! He cried out to the only one he knew could save him - God; to remove from him the way of lying; of folly; self-righteousness; hypocrisy; error. What about you and me? David desired to have the law of God opened up to his understanding, engraved in his heart. He seek the Lord and plead for it to be graciously granted unto him. We need to desire and ask God to grant us graciously the understanding of His law and for the Holy Spirit to keep His laws in our hearts, that we may not sin against him. Pride is the greatest of lies that started in heaven with Satan, the father of all lies. He is a manipulator and the deceiver of this world. Like David, let us cry out against such sin and ask God to guide us, through His Holy Spirit; to guard the avenues of our hearts that we may forsake the way of lying and to seek to be sincere and truthful.

Have wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

 '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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
