 'Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me' (Psalm 38:21).

God has promised His people that He will never leave or forsake them and that His presence will continue to be with them. We should be confident to trust the promises of God. When our friends, family, or others forsake us, God will lift us up to Himself and give us peace and  the courage to go on. He will always help us in our time of need; sometimes He allows us to go through the fire of hardship, strife, trials, alienation, adversity, to strengthen us or test our loyalty to Him; but He is indeed very much present. God is a compassionate Father and will not leave us in our troubles, nor sickness, nor in our sorrows. We can be assured that He hears us when we call upon Him. David prayer was one of urgency and persistency. His friends had forsaken him in a time of great need and he felt as all his strength left him, as a result of the affliction caused by others. He now pleaded with God, not to forsake him, or cease to care for him, nor be far from him, because he wouldn't be able to survive. We too have the assurance that when we call upon the Lord in our troubles or afflictions, He will hear and help us. Our faith in God is paramount, and whatever happens we must be assured of our salvation in God, through Christ. We have an Omnipresent God, who is everywhere for everyone who comes to Him; and is not far from His people. He will deliver us from our fears, anxieties, worries, perplexities and our imperfections; because He is God. At times He may withdraw from us for His purpose, or when we are disobedient, but His eyes are still on us. To us it might feel as if He has forsaken us, but his withdrawal is only temporary, for His divine purpose. Whenever we call upon God, He is present to help and deliver us. Let us have confidence and trust in the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father and believe, that when we call upon him, He will hear and help us.

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 ...
