 'Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?'
(Psalm 77:13).

The God of Creation is more than worthy of our praise and worship. There is absolutely no one like our God. He is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent; He  demonstrated His amazing love to all his people, when he came down to earth in the form of his Son to redeem us, by his blood. Who then is like our God? His ways through his creation, his providence and his grace are beyond anything we could ever imagine. He is holy, just and righteous. From generation to generation, His people can attest to the awesome and mighty power he has manifested among them. So when you cannot trace His ways, trust Him nonetheless; because His way is in holiness. David recognised that God's way is in the sanctuary; when he saw the prosperity the wicked and that there was no band in their death and their strength was  firm, he was envious. But when he went into the sanctuary of the Lord, he was comforted as he got a clear understanding of their end. (See Psalm 73:3,4,17). We too can find comfort amidst our trials and troubles in the sanctuary of the Lord. God's presence is there in his sanctuary and He will help us to understand clearly his great work of grace and salvation to all. The poor and destitute; those who are troubled from every side can find comfort and hope as they enter into God's holiness.  The presence of God will illuminate his sanctuary and his light will be seen much clearer. This should give us confidence in God and strengthen our faith in the true and living God. He knows the end from the beginning and in His holiness lies all the answers. There is no one who is comparable to our God. He reigns supremely over all; He is superior to all other beings and he is Sovereign God. God is holy and his way is holiness. Even when we cannot comprehend it, let us be confident and trust that his dealings are righteous. Draw near to God and look to him for sustenance and with humble hearts worship and obey 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 ...
