 'Ye are blessed of the Lord which made the heaven and the earth'
(Psalm 115:15).

There is a Creator who made the heaven and earth and all that is therein - God. Some people may doubt there is a God,  but He is real and the only true and living God. He is our Protector, Provider and Defender who save us  through the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ. He blesses and brings relieve to all our situations and sufferings. Is nature is to bless, both temporal and spiritual; and delights in blessing his children who fear Him. God blesses everyone upon this earth with temporal blessings, but spiritual blessings, He bestows upon those who chose to obey Him and believe on Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour from sin. We are blessed spiritually when we know the Lord, and our sins are pardoned by him; When we are justified by the righteousness of Christ, becoming heir of God and joint heir with Christ; we are become highly favoured and blessed of the Lord. We ought to trust God completely and have confidence in His ability to save us from the utmost. We must submit our will to His and make Him centre of our lives. We do not need an outward emblem of stone, nor wood, nor animals to worship as our God, because God is a spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. We need nothing to take the place of God in our lives. These gods cannot see, hear, speak or touch or smell. But God has eyes and sees all things; He has a mouth to speak and speaks everywhere; He has ears to hear us when we call and hands to reach out and comfort us. "His hand is not shortened that it cannot save, nor his ears heavy that it cannot hear"
(Isaiah 59:1). Our God is is a living God who reigns in heaven and earth. He is All-Wise, All-Powerful and Ever-Present and will bless all those who fear Him. Let us take time to appreciate and reflect on the God of the heaven and the earth; to have confidence in who He is and believe in Jesus our Lord and submit our will to the power of the Holy Spirit, knowing that He who has promised to bless will do so bountifully and even extend those blessings to our children.

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...

 '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...

 '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...
