 'The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even for evermore' (Psalm 121:8).

The Lord is our Protector and Shield, all we need to do is put our trust in Him. He promises to preserve our going out and our coming in - in all our business and undertakings. We need to look up to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith; knowing our help comes from Him, the One who created the heaven and the earth. We  need not fret or worry when we make Christ the centre of our lives, because we are safe evermore in Him. He keeps us safe and secure  from harms and dangers when we go out from our homes, and protect us when we return. He will do this as long as we trust and give our lives to Him, and as long as time endures. He is a patient and longsuffering God! He will keep us from wrath, malice, hatred, envying, and you can name the works of the flesh; when we give our all to Him. He will however, allow us to manifest the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance, as we daily interact with Him. Look to Jesus always and trust in His promises, because He will surely deliver. He promises to keep you in all your ways and to direct your path when you acknowledge Him as Sovereign God, Creator and Redeemer. He is always ready to help us with our issues of life, with an arm that cannot fail and eyes that are never closed. Even when we find ourselves in the valley of the shadow of death, we will not fear no evil surmising because, as our Shepherd, His rod and staff will give us comfort.  Let us seek to be in the habit of looking up. Especially when we are in trouble and don't know what to do. It is our faith that looks up to Him, when we know there is nothing impossible with Him. Let us commit all our concerns into the hands of the Almighty, that in our going out and our coming in, Jesus may be our hope for eternity.

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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 '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 ...
