 '...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🌹🌹

 '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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever.
