 '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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
