 '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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
