 'The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy' (Psalm 147:11).

When we recognised the Lord, that He is God, we will be humbled as we stand before him with reverence, in awe of his love and greatness. How do you feel when the Lord takes pleasure or delight in you? God's heart is full of love and compassion towards his children, who hope in his  mercy as displayed in Christ. It behoves us to praise God constantly for who he is and his merciful and loving care over us. He delights in all those who humbly  trust in his steadfast love; those who have a heart that truly loves, reverences, and adores Him. God sees and delights in those who demonstrate trust in him. He delights in the strength of grace of which he is please to own, through our faith in Christ. As believers, we should seek to exhibit a holy fear of God, that is, a reverence of his majesty and a complacency of his goodness. We must seek to hope in His mercy as we reverence Him. It is an awesome feeling to know that the Lord, the great God of the universe, the King of glory delights in us sinners, and that we can bring pleasure to His heart when we obey him. Therefore, it should fill our hearts with explicable joy that propels us to praise and give Him glory. Let us seek to reverence the Almighty God and worship him from a heart that is overflowed with gratitude. Remember that God takes pleasure in creating us and has made each of us unique and for a specific purpose. We are indeed His Masterpiece and was created anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do good things He planned for us long ago (Ephesians 2:10). Let us seek to enjoy his presence each day, to be a blessing to others as we radiate God's love, and endeavour to make the right choices, having confidence in the Sovereign Lord. Let us seek to trust the Lord more and have confidence as we experience His pleasure and worship 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...

'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...

 '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 ...
