 'Truly my soul waiteth upon  God: from him cometh my salvation'
(Psalm 62:1).

Waiting requires patience and hope in what we expect to happen. We all at some point in our lives experience waiting. Whether waiting on  results from the doctor about our health; waiting for an answer from a job interview; waiting on a bus especially when we're already late. These sometimes bring on stress and anxiety instead of patience, as we anticipate the outcome. To wait upon the Lord means to linger silently in his presence, to wrap ourselves in total submission to him, as he wraps himself around us to give us total trust and confidence in him. When we wait upon the Lord our strength increase and  is renewed, as we look to Him for assistance and salvation, confident that He will work everything out according to his will and purpose. In waiting upon the Lord, we should trust completely in him. Our mind should be at peace, and we should have a calmness of mind knowing all are in God's hand and we don't need to worry. We should have confidence in His goodness; his mercy; his wisdom and his power, as we commit all to him. In this life we are beset with difficulties and dangers from every side, people who also want to hurt and destroy us, such as what David was experiencing. But like David, we too need to have confidence in the Lord who is our Rock and our Salvation. We cannot look to anyone else except the Lord our God. Salvation is from him and it is He alone whom we must depend upon. We must learn to wait in quite confidence on the Lord amidst our difficulties, our disappointments and distresses. As our soul waits upon the Lord; believe, be patient, be obedient, be silent as we truly give ourselves to him. Wait for God in sincerity of heart; have faith in our Lord and  hold steadfast to his love, because from him only cometh our salvation, in this life and for eternity.

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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
