 'O praise the Lord, all ye Nations: praise him all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise Ye the Lord (Psalm 117:1,2).

The Lord our God is so wonderful and is worthy of all our praise. God is inviting all nations and people of the earth to praise him, because his merciful kindness and eternal truth of salvation is for all. It is both for Jews and Gentiles alike to accept his free gift of salvation. God came down from heaven in the form of His Son, Jesus Christ to redeem us back to himself. However, it is only those who believe by grace through faith in Jesus, that will be rewarded with eternal life when Jesus returns. Just remember, everyone has this wonderful opportunity of eternal life! God is a great  promise keeper and whatever He promises, He will provide, because He loves us and is not slack concerning his promises, as we are. God has everything worked out through his plan of redemption for mankind. We can rest assured with hope and confidence that He is working everything out for our good. Therefore, we ought to praise and rejoice and be glad in Him. For His merciful kindness is great toward us and his truth endures forever. We all can see the goodness and faithfulness of God in our daily lives, whether we accept him or not. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But what did God do? He proceeded to take care of the sin problem, through his redemptive kindness and eternal truth in the Person of his Son, who died to save us. So, everyone who believe in His Son and accept him by faith shall have eternal life. Isn't this a good reason to praise the Lord? Let us be obedient to the will of God and look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. God is calling all his children to draw near, and to come to him. He is longing to have that divine fellowship and eternal relationship with us, as was originally intended before sin came into the world. Let us praise the Saviour continuously as we accept his merciful kindness and eternal truth.

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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...
