'Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield'
(Psalm 115:11).
All who are of the seed of Abraham, and worshipped the Lord God in spirit and in truth, should reverence Him and trust in him. He is their help and their shield in times of need. As we seek daily to worship the true and living God, we shall behold His glory and be change from glory to glory, into His same image (see 2 Corinthians 3: 18). It is only God who can transform our lives through the power of His Holy Spirit, as we experience true worship with him and learn to trust in him; then we become more and more like him. There are people who trust in idols and not the true and living God. Their gods have eyes yet they cannot see; they have ears but cannot hear; nose, but cannot smell; mouth, but cannot speak; hands, but cannot handle anything and feet, but cannot walk. In other words they are helpless. Our God can see, hear, smell, speak, walk. There is nothing our God cannot do. He is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent; and is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is our help and shield and when we trust in Him we are truly bless. Our fear of God is like an intimate child-like fear which is pure and trusting. It is a reverential fear that we experience with awe when we come before a holy and powerful God. When we experience this fear of God, it leads us to trust him wholeheartedly, to have faith and confidence in his ability to help and shield us. God is faithful and we are encouraged to not only fear Him, but to also trust in him and he will bless us as he has promised. The Lord has been our help and our shield and will not abandon his people who love and trust in him. Let us praise the Lord and trust in him while we are alive, as the dead cannot do so. For their is no other security or strength but in the power and goodness of God, who is our divine help and protection.
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
