 'Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him' (Proverbs 30:5).

Our God is a God of truth and he never lies - He cannot lie. Every word of God is pure and true, His promises are sure and true and will never fail. We can be confident in Him and trust every word that proceeds from him. That is, what ever He says or do we can trust him. We should love the Word of God; it gives us life and life comes from the living God who is the Word. Psalms 119:140 says, "Thy woed is pure: therefore thy servant loveth it." All  Scriptures are pure and free from falsehood and error. It is inspired by the Holy Spirt and given by God, and is therefore, trustworthy. For all who trust God, he is our Shield. What does a shield do? It protects. Christ our Saviour died to save us from our sins and becomes our Shield to protect us from sin, Satan, our enemies, and from the evil and wickedness of this world. But we have to do something too; we have to trust Him and he will protect us. If we put our trust in man and material things, we cannot be protected. When we know God, we will trust him and be  obedient to His commands and reliant on his promises. He promises to be a Shield to those who trust in Him, all we need to do is believe. Let us ask the Lord to help us to walk uprightly. He promises not to withhold any good thing from us and will be our shield (Psalm 84:11). If we fear the Lord and trust in him, He will be our help and shield (Psalm 115:11). We ought to trust in the Lord, who is the Living Word. His word cannot be improved upon because it is pure as gold and silver tried in the fire then becoming pure and refine. When we trust God and His revelation of Himself, we will be protected from bondage of every calibre. Let Christ be our Shield as we trust in Him.

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (Psalm 4:4). God knows everything about us, because he is God, our Creator and there is nothing that can be hidden from him. He knows the heart and the intents of the heart; Our thoughts, emotions, desires and motives, whether they be good or evil. He knows the godly from the ungodly, and have set apart those who are godly for himself, and will hear when they call unto him (verse 3). We are all called to be in a right relationship with God. Those who accept this call should have daily communion with Him through the study of His Word, prayer and supplications, allowing the Holy Spirit access in their hearts, that they might not wilfully sin against Him. We need to search our hearts daily and be silent before God as we contemplate his grace and his mercy towards us, and He will reveal Himself to us. When our enemies seek to do us harm, or people speak lies about us, simply look to Jesus and trus
