 '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🌹🌹

 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 ...
