'Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once'
(Proverbs 28:18).
The Lord is our Protector and Waymaker. He is ever seeking to guide and lead us in the path of righteousness. Those who trust in Him and walk uprightly, He promised to save. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord; perceive him as the Author and Finisher of our faith, He will be with us through whatever sufferings and calamities that may befall us. He will protect us when we are caught in the raging storms of life. But for those who trust in their own perverse ways, and turn away from the way of the Lord shall fall at once. When they least expect it, destruction will come upon them and it will be too late for them. We cannot at anytime serve too masters: one we will love and the other we will hate. We need to serve only the true and living God, who is able to save us. It doesn't mean that we will not encounter or have problems, issues or afflictions. But choosing to put God first, placing our trust in him and purpose to walk uprightly, we will enjoy a security, even in our present life. When we walk uprightly and with integrity, our Lord will preserve our comfort, our interests and reputation. He will protect us in the worst of times and bring joy and gladness in the best of times. It behoves us as children of God to stand up for Jesus and do all that is right, allowing the Holy Spirit to work upon our hearts and to aid us in our walk with the Lord. Let us choose today, to live a life of integrity; to exercise faith in God, that we will be able to receive his peace in the time of adversity and for protection in the time of need. We must seek to walk uprightly and be secure by God in the worst of times and not walk in our own perverse ways and fall for ever.
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
