 'But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in time of trouble' (Psalm 37:39).

Those whose minds are directed by the Word of God and whose speech and behaviour wholesome, have confidence in His ability to rescue them in times of trouble. God is always in the business of saving and protecting His people, therefore, it behoves us to trust and believe in Him wholeheartedly. God's gift of salvation is for all who will accept, trust and believe in Christ. This gift  is eternal life in Christ Jesus. 'The salvation of the righteous is of the Lord.' It is the Lord that make us righteous, by blotting out our sins,  transforming us by His Holy Spirit and sustaining us by His grace. Abraham believed God, and was credited to him as righteous. It was his faith in God, not his own works, which allowed him to be justified before God. When we are troubled from every side we can confidently trust God, knowing that He cares for us and will save us. It is easier to trust in God in the good times, but in the troublesome times, times of trials and sufferings when we really need a stronghold, that our faith and character are really tested. But God is calling us to trust in him in all times and in all ways, because it is He alone that can help us. Let God be your strength in the good times, that when sufferings and adversaries come upon you, He will be established as the stronghold of your life, wherein you can take refuge and be saved.  Sometimes we look at the wicked and see how they seem to prosper, and may be tempted to envy them or doubt the goodness of God, but know this, that one day all the wicked will be destroyed. As believers we have nothing to fear if we believe, trust and establish that God is our stronghold. That His goodness will protect and save in times of trouble.

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 ...
