 'He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depth of the sea' (Micah 7:19).

When we sin against God, there are always consequences. In Scriptures we see where Israel, God's chosen people who were suppose to be a light to the heathen nations; sinned against God, turned to the heathen gods, rebelled and disobey God, time and time again. God punished them, led them into captivity, turned away from them in disgust, withdrew His presence and at times didn't want to even see them. But He is a loving, merciful and compassionate Father. When His people whom He loves, acknowledged their sins and iniquities and cried out to him; He turns and manifest His love to them again and applies His pardoning grace.  We all at one time or another, find ourselves in that situation; or may still be finding ourselves in those situations. However, when we call upon the Lord, our God, pleading for His forgiveness, He can't but turn to us again and pardon us. That's the God, he is. He is naturally compassionate, as He is merciful and longsuffering. He is full of compassion which never fails yet, and extend His tender mercies which are new every morning, to His people. Just as the good Samaritan had compassion and helped the man attacked by robbers and left to die by the roadside; poured oil and wine into the wounds of the man to help with the healing process. Our Lord and Good Samaritan, with compassion towards us binds up our brokenness; our wounds of discord; of unselfishness; disobedience; sinfulness and unforgiveness. He pours in our wounds the oil of His pardoning grace and heals us. It is for our sins that Christ died; to save us from everlasting death and to restore us back to the Image of God and to reconcile us to Him. Christ conquered and made an end to sin, taking it away with His precious blood. He removes our guilt by pardoning and securing us from the punishment and condemnation of sin, that we may live and reign with Him forever. Let us trust God and be obedient unto him, having confident in His Son who is able to save us from our sins. He promises to turn again and have compassion on us; to subdue our iniquities and cast them in the depths of the sea. What an awesome and amazing God we serve! Our sins when repented of, are covered, blotted out, and pardoned, by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Won't you trust Him and give Him your all, today?

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

 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...

 '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...
