 '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...

 '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.

'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...
