 '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 🌹🌹

 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 ...
