 'O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things: thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth' (Isaiah 25:1).

Without God, no flesh would be upon planet earth. God created human so he could love  and have a relationship with them and for them to worship him. His love knows no boundaries and  is eternal. There is nothing we could do for  God to stop loving us. Sin came into the world and death was pronounced on all of us, but God's love was so great that He came down in the Person of His Son to die for the human race, with the shedding of His precious blood to save us. Therefore, God is worthy of our praise and we ought to honour and praise His holy name. He is our God and has done such wonderful things. He has shown the depth of His love and we must believe in Him and trust him totally.
In every generation, God has always had a people who trust His Word and believe His promises and give glory and honour to His name; even in the most difficult of times and amidst the ghastly behaviour of others towards them. They purpose in their hearts not to bow to any other, but the true and living God and to joyfully rejoice in praise and thanksgiving as they worship him, singing; "O Lord, You are my God, I will exalt You; I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, and determined these things long ago, and they are faithful and they are true. No matter what you're going through right now; the trials, the tribulations, the disappointments, fears and doubts, remember God is with you. Just learn to trust Him daily and depend upon him. Trust His Word and believe His promises and give glory to His high and holy name, as you lift  your heart in praise and thanks to Him, who is  yours and my salvation; and is worthy above all other beings and objects. By His faithfulnes and keeping of His promises, let us trust in Him, our God, who has confirmed all these wonderful things well ahead of 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...

 '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...

 '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...
