 'For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever'
(Psalm 9:18).

Christ our Lord when he was on this earth, never forgot the poor and needy. When they are around Him, they felt special and loved. He is always providing for their needs - physically spiritually and emotionally, whenever and wherever He encounters them. They were often forgotten by those around them and afflicted, but with Christ they had hope. The Lord is faithful and never fails us, therefore we should praise and give thanks to Him always, because He is worthy of our praise. He promised to provide for our needs and to protect us from dangers and harm. He comforts all those who trust in His word and bring honour to His holy name. He is the One who promised that He will never leave or forsake us when we go through the storms of life and encounter sufferings and adversities. The Lord will never forget those that remember Him nor abandon those who trust His Word  and honour his name... "For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever."
The world we live in today, those who trust and believe in God are being persecuted for their faith. They suffer trials and tribulations, but praise God there is hope for all who trust in Him. The poor and needy may at times be forgotten and feel despondent as if there is no hope in their afflictions. But as God's children, there is assurance that they are secure in His hand.
Let us keep trusting in our God and rest assured with confidence that in the midst of our distress and sufferings we are secured in his hand. In times of lack let us praise Him, and in times of plenty praise Him. Remember, whatever you might be going through at this present time, will be worth it in the end when Jesus comes again in glory to take his faithful people home. All we need to do is live right, trust God and by faith keep believing in Christ our Saviour; keep enduring  to the end and as we grow in grace and become complete in Him, we will realise we really dont lack anything. Christ is all the world to us!

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 '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

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
