 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved' (Psalm 55:22).

All whose trust is in the Lord, know they can cast their cares upon him. They know when they give their burdens to Him, he will take care of them, and not cause them to slip and fall. God loves us more than we can ever think or imagine. His love is immeasurable and eternal! Whatever situation we find ourselves in, we must trust Him, that he is able to take care of us. 1 Peter 5:7 says we are to cast all our anxieties on Him, because he cares for us.
When we rely on the Lord for everything, he shall sustain us. In your fear and anxiety, look to Him and be confident that you can lean on His everlasting arm and be safe. Jesus bids us come to him, all who are weary and burdened and he will give us rest. He invites us to take His yoke upon us and learn from him, because he is gentle and humble in heart and we will find rest for our weary souls. For His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30).
Today, cast all those burdens that weigh down your hearts and lives: it may be illness, worry, grief, loss of job or an important friendship or the end of a marriage, financial hardship, a trauma you have experienced; things that are out of your control. Jesus said you are to hand them over to him and he will take care of them and sustain you and will not suffer you to be moved. Note the Word of God said, "He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Therefore, we must have a relationship with the Lord, be living a godly life, looking only to him, and he will not suffer us to be moved. David was going through a difficult time in his life, with worries, anxieties and fear, but he had to stop for a moment and look to the Lord. He knew the Lord would sustain him through those difficulties and would not allow him to be shaken. We too can have that experience, when we with confidence, look to the Lord and cast all our burdens upon Him. There are many calamities happening in this world that overwhelm us and cause us to fear, but the Word of God reminds us not to fear, for the Lord our God is with us. We are encouraged to cast our cares upon Him, and he will sustain us.

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 ...
