 '...I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me' (Micah 7:7).

We are living in dangerous times and the hearts of men are cold and evil. As we draw closer to the end of the world and the coming of Christ, people's hearts are stoned cold, they are wicked towards each other, and even the most intimate will betray one another. The Scriptures says that, the son will dishonour the father, daughter will disobey the mother, the daughter in law will be against the mother in law and man's enemies will be in their own household (see Micah 7:6). We can see this happening even now, where people cannot trust those who claim to be their friends or those in their own household or family. But we can surely trust in the Lord and be confident of His goodness towards his people. We can wait expectantly upon the Lord, who will never let us down. We can wait for the God of our salvation because we are secure in him. Our God will hear us, because He promises to hear us when we call upon him and is always willing to listen to us. We all have a choice to choose God and His ways. His ways lead us to life everlasting. Will you not choose God and His ways today? Micah's warning to Israel regarding their sinful ways and the serious consequences that will come as a result of their sin, is also a warning to all who are seeking God. He proclaimed that as for himself, "I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation, my God will hear me." He had confidence in the mercy of God that he would  hear him. Let us too have the confidence in the mercies of God that as we wait upon the God of our salvation, he will hear us. As believers, let us choose to be governed by God and to walk in spirit and truth; to seek to grow in grace and live godly in Christ Jesus. Let us learn to trust in the Lord more; to wait patiently for him and to be more confident in His ability to sustain, defend and save us. Let us put our trust and confidence in the One who will never fail 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 ...
