 'The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace'
(Psalm 29:11).

The Lord God is our strength and our peace. He knows everything we are going through before we do. He is Omniscient and also the Alpha and the Omega. He knows everything and is the beginning and the end. He is our Creators and therefore, knows all there is to know about us. He understands us more that we do ourselves, and is always there to help us. His presence is all around us, so we need not worry or fear. His strength is perfect. It brings protection, joy,  mercy and help us in times of need. He promises to strengthen the weary and give grace to those who are humble of heart. We can trust Him amidst our storms as He gives us strength, and as He whispers peace be still into the stormy pits of our hearts. How great is our God? It behoves us to take time to know the Lord our God. By faith we must seek to trust in His mighty power and with confidence, and assurance acknowledge Him as our Strength. We should never trust in our own strength and abilities, but in the abilities of the Lord to strengthen and be our Strength. We can confidently say, "The Lord is our Strength and will not only give strength to His people, but will also bless them with peace."
Christ is desirous of His people to rest in His love, and His peace as we seek to enjoy sweet fellowship with him. However, to receive His great blessing of peace, we must accept and believe in Him. Harden not your heart, but allow the Holy Spirit to draw you near as you open your heart for the Saviour to come in. In times like these we need the Lord's strength and His blessing of peace. Let us say 'yes' to Jesus as we go through the storms of life. Let us be confident in His truth and with praises proclaim, "The Lord is my strength and my peace."

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

 '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

 'Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long" (Proverbs 23:17). We are ever to put the Lord first in every thing we do. Let our focus be on the Lord our God, Creator and Redeemer, rather than on sinners, even to envy them. David was tempted to envy the wicked, and remind us in Psalm 37:1 that we should not fret ourselves because of evil doers, or be envious against the workers of iniquity. The wicked will in time reap their reward and fall into mischief, as they hardened their hearts against God and His Word. Even, as Children of God, we are sometimes apt to be envious in our hearts, towards those who do not fear or reverence God; of their prosperity, pleasure and honour, which is not eternal. But we are admonished by King Solomon, that we are not to let our heart envy sinners: but to be in fear of the Lord all the day long. We must exercise our faith and trust in the Lord. We should not look to wicked and evil men who do not fear Go
