 '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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives.
