 '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 🌹🌹

 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 ...
