 'Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths'
(Psalm 25:4).

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). When we  fear the Lord, He will shew us his ways and teach us his paths, that we may choose aright. Life is  a journey; we can either choose to follow our own ways, which lead to hell and death or God's way that leads to heaven and eternal life.  We can also choose to follow our own path of sin or the path of God - righteousness. It is of uttermost importance that we learn to trust God. We must desist from leaning on our own understanding or trusting our own path, but follow God's way and allow Him to direct our steps. Proverbs 3:5-6 counsel us to, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path." We should at all times, trust in the Lord; in good times and in bad times. He will never let us down. When in distress, or in danger and we are trodden and beaten down from every side, we only need to trust God and wait upon him; believing He who promise is faithful and will help us. It is vital to man to learn the ways of the Lord and to discover which path He wants us to follow. The best way to do so, is through the Scriptures which tells us all we need to know about God and his love for us, his ways and what is expected of us. We ought to walk in the counsel of the Lord; commit our ways to him and submit to the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. We are to learn to be wholly dependent on Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, our solid Rock and our hope; so we can walk in the path God had ordained for us. Let us by the grace of God, trust in His Word, which is a light to our path and a lamp unto our feet, that will illuminate the path God  intended us to tread. Let us take note and follow Jesus' example, while He was on earth. He trust totally in His Father and was obedient to His will to the end. We too have the opportunity to trust in Jesus and be obedient to the will of God. Let us, by the power of the Holy Spirit then die daily to self and live unto the Lord, that He may show us his ways and teach us his paths. He has set before us life and death, and implore us to choose life. Which will you choose today?

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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
