 '...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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
