 '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 🌹🌹

'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...
