 'Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name' (Psalm 86:11).

We all need God to teach us his way, to direct us in his path as we seek for grace and favour from him. But first we must accept that He is the eternal God and seek to experience a personal relationship with him. Having a relationship with God will help us to have total trust and confidence in Him. We, like David, need to cry out to the Lord, in total dependence and humility, as we submit to His will, and enabling Him to work in our lives. Each day we go through challenges and difficulties which at times  overwhelmed us. But knowing we can call upon the Lord at all times, and that He will answer us, bring assurance and greater confidence in Him. All who seek to know the Lord, must trust in his steadfast love; obey him more faithfully and praise and honour him more consistently. We are encouraged to seek the Lord in whatever situation we might find ourselves; to ask Him to teach us his way so we can obtain his favour and help; to walk in His truth and be faithful to him; to request and allow Him to unite our divided heart to fear his name, so we can worship, honour and obey Him. Let us in seeking the ways of God, submit ourselves to him, asking him to guide and go before us, that we may live a life that is pleasing to him, as we follow after him. It behoves us to walk after God's truth, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and to receive uprightness of heart that comes only from God; as we rejoice and be glad in Him. Let us pray that the Lord will take away our desires of the flesh and replace it with our desire for Him as he unite our hearts towards him.

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
