 'And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee' (Psalm 9:10).

It is a good thing to rejoice in the Lord Most High. He is our strength from day to day and we need to follow him all the way. He is our refuge in times of trouble, and all those who know His name will put their trust in Him. God promises to set on high those who know His name (Ps. 91:14).  We can be confident when we seek God, knowing He will not forsake us. When Jesus returns, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord, whether you know Him or not. He is our gracious and loving God, full of compassion and goodness. He is merciful and forgiving and bountiful in grace. He is our Salvation and we must not fear or be afraid. He is the resurrection and life, those who trusted in Him will have life everlasting. When we know the name of God and who he is, we will believe on His Word and trust his promises. Jesus died for all, but it is  those who trust and believe that will be saved by grace through their faith in Him. We have the assurance that Christ will never forsake or abandon us, who seek after him. He who shed His precious blood for us,  will not condemn those who are in Him. The Bible says, "There is therfore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus..."  (Romans 8:1). We must know God and trust Him. For those who are in a state of ignorance, it is of vital importance to have a knowledge of God. They should get to know Him through His Word and seek to have a relationship with him, knowing his wonderful attributes; understanding his love and mercy towards his people. they will come to trust and believe on Him by faith, having the assurance that He will not forsake them when they seek Him. Let us seek to know the name of Jesus and what it means to us, as we trust in Him with our whole heart. We should never forget He is our Rock and High Tower; our Comforter and Friend; our Light and Salvation; our Joy and Peace; our Lily of the valley and our Rose of Sharon; He is our life. We are assured of His faithfulness, His protection and shelter and we do not have to fear any evil or be afraid of anyone, because the Lord is our Shelter and will be with us; and He will never forsake those who trust and seek after 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...

'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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
