 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved' (Psalm 55:22).

God is faithful now as he was in the past and has never failed us, because He loves us more then we can imagine. His love is so great, that He came down from heaven in the form of His Son Jesus Christ to die for us, sinful beings. Therefore, in all of our sticky situations and our messed up lives, He proves time and time again that we can rely upon him. No matter what we are going through, it is not too much for God to bear, because there is nothing too hard for him. We are living in dangerous and trying times where people are experiencing anxieties, depression and some have become hopeless and ready to give up as they cannot see beyond, in all that's happening. Some people have rejected God, whilst some have a problem with Jesus our Saviour being God. Whatever the situation, God's love never changes and He is gentle calling us to cast our cares upon him for He will sustain us. Let us learn to commit our ways   unto the Lord and trust him, who is able to bring them to pass (Psalm 37:5). David betrayed by his friend became overwhelmed by his troubles; overcame by grief and was deeply emotional and distress with all that was going on. So it is with many believers today who are experiencing challenging and difficult times. But as David took a moment to see the bigger picture, with confidence he turned his eyes on the Lord and cast his burden on him, knowing He would sustain and take care of him. We too ought to take our eyes off the problems we are facing and turn them over  to the Saviour, who can solved all our problems. We have a friend in Jesus, who is waiting to hear from us and will never suffer the righteous to be shaken. Each one of us has to know the Saviour for ourself. You have to trust in him and believe He will sustain you through all your difficulties, sufferings and pain. The hearts of men have become callous and hard-hearted - evil. We see leaders sacrificing the lives of their people for power and children and women being the victimised by cold-hearted men; a pandemic which is raging   war upon us all, amidst natural and man-made disasters. But we are reminded! Yes, we are reminded not to fear, for the Lord our God is with us, his presence is all around and his eyes are on us. It is time for Jesus to come.  So, all we need to do is to trust in Him and cast our cares upon him for He cares for us and will sustain and strengthen us. Let us, "take no thought of our life, what we should eat, or what we should drink; nor yet for your body, what you should put on. Is not life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"
(Matthew 6:25).  God will take care of our needs and sustain us, so if we trust in him, we will have no need to worry or fear.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 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 ...
