 'But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee' (Psalm 5:11)

Knowing God and understanding what he has done for us, should lead us to greater trust and confidence in him. He wants us to have an open and intimate relationship with him, so we can know his plan for our salvation; His great love for us; His sovereignty; His power and providence. His desire is to save all and to have a saving relationship with everyone. However, anyone who doesn't accept His call and his plan of salvation will never experience the joy of the Lord, or his desire for them to spend eternity with him. As believers it is important to trust in the name of the Lord and not in ourselves, or in our riches or in our own strength. We must not only trust, but rejoice in the salvation of the Lord and have hope for the future with him. It behoves us every day to lift our voices and express joy for our Lord's return for his faithful people. As we seek to put our total trust in the Sovereign Lord, let us rejoice at the sound of his name. Let us learn to love His name and appreciate and love all He has done for us and recognise the mighty power of the works of his hand. We must choose to live a life of obedience and gratitude. We must be thankful for Jesus and his redemptive power to save us by his precious blood. When we love and appreciate the name of the Lord, we will be joyful in him because He is our strength and our song; He is our Deliverer and Protector and we must rejoice in Him. Let us daily feed upon the living Word of God; meditate; be in constant prayer lifting our souls to God; in thanksgiving and supplication lift up our hearts with joy to Him. We ought to love the name of the Lord and be joyful in Him as we truly serve him in spirit and in truth.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
