 'For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness' (2 Samuel 22:29).

Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, and we can surely rejoice in His light.
Those of us who are from the Caribbean, at some point in our life have experienced physical darkness, as a result of an electrical power outage or for those living in some rural areas where there weren't any electricity. The darkness was so thick, that it seems as if it would sniff your life out. You could literally feel the darkness pressing upon your mind. But with a flicker of light, it illuminates the darkness and you can see your surroundings clearly. With the light brings joy and gladness and eliminates fear in the hearts of men. That's what Christ brings to our dark and sinful lives. We were once walking in spiritual darkness because of sin; but God the Creator of light, through Christ illuminates our hearts with His light and when we accept that light, we began to walk in the light of Christ and reflecting it to those still in darkness.  God loves and cares for us, and cause the light of His salvation to shine upon us, in our darkness of distress, anxiety, and condition of depression, as He did for David. When we make Christ the Lord of our lives, He will enlighten our darkness and we will not fear, because He is our Light and Salvation. He will therefore, brighten every season of darkness and distress we experience. Whatever your circumstances, whatever adversity that may befall you and your family; God will fight for you and will prosper you. Only trust Him! Like David, you'll be able to say, "Thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness." Jesus is the Light of the world, and when we choose to follow Him, we will not walk in darkness any more, but will have the light of life. Let Jesus lighten your darkness today.

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 ...
