 'It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect'
(Psalm 18:32).

The Christian journey is a battlefield consisting of good and evil. There is a spiritual battle going on for our minds -  Christ wants to save us and Satan wants to destroy us. Those who choose God will be battered and bruise by Satan; but the Lord has prepared us for this warfare and has girt us with the armour of God, so we will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). God had delivered David many a times from his enemies, including king Saul. He was delivered from physical and spiritual battles victoriously, and praised God for his deliverance. He acknowledged that its God who girded him with strength and make his way perfect. It is indeed God who gives us strength, whether physically or spiritually; He fortified our minds and give strength to our bodies that we will be able to carry out His work in the right way and with the right attitude. It is He that makes our way perfect. We may be fallen human beings, yet we can be perfect as our Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48).  We may have blemishes and spots, but as we come to God confessing our sins; He promised that he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. When we walk in the way of the Lord and live the life of Christ, we are being perfect ( not divine perfection of God that we as sinful beings cannot attain). When we allow God through the power of the Holy Spirit to do good works in us; and to walk in the ways of Christ our way will be perfect. He will give us the best direction, counsel as to  how to act and prosper in all our endeavours. Help us Lord to be upright before You, as we are strengthen and led in the right path. Let our hearts greatly rejoice as we trust You and give praise and honour to Your name. You are our strength, refuge, fortress, shield and buckler; our sufficiency is of you.

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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

'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...
