 '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 🌹🌹

 '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.
