 '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 🌹🌹

 '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...

 '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...

 '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 ...
