 'Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the word of knowledge' (Proverbs 23:12).

God has placed His laws in our hearts that we may know Him, the only true God. He has instructed us through His Word, which is a light unto our path and a lamp to our feet. He instructs us of things pertaining to His Son, Jesus Christ and His salvation, in which He has freely given to us. We must seek to apply our hearts unto His instruction persistently and earnestly. We should allow the Holy Spirit to graciously open our hearts and enlighten us, as we fix our ears attentively to listen and treasure those instructions, that may in the future influence our life. The Passage of Scripture, is suggesting that we not only should learn what God has instructed us to do but to apply our heart to those instructions. In so doing we will have a knowledge of God. This knowledge we have of God is infinitely valuable. Why?  "This is life eternal, to know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent"
(John 17:3). God is always ready to communicate with us and if we truly understand this, we will give Him our full attention and listen wholeheartedly to what He wants us to do. We must seek to have the right attitude in listening to God, and  we will be bless for doing so. We should be eager to hear, anxious to know more about God and His Word,  hungered for His truth and be illuminated by His light. God seeks to communicate to us through His Word, through Bible study, through prayer, through others who are spiritually mature. It is our responsibility to listen and apply His Word and instructions to our heart. Today, seek to incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding (Proverbs 2:2).

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...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
