 'For the Lord is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king'
(Psalm 89:18).

Everything on the earth belongs to God and  he is greatly exalted. He is our defense and our protection comes from Him. He raised up kings on the earth to rule nations, but the Lord Jesus, our Saviour is the King of all kings. The God of Israel is both our Ruler and our Defense and we ought to acknowledge Him as our King. He is holy and righteous with a flawless and perfect character. We can surely trust Him, whose promises are sure. He is not a God who can lie because He is sinless and full of truth and justice. We are truely bless to be able to call upon the Lord at anytime and acknowledge him as our God for ever. We are God's creative beings and  should reverence and hold Him in high esteem, because of His holiness. We should rejoice in His name all the day and in his righteousness shall we be exalted. He is our Defense and the Holy One of Israel, who is the legal King of the earth. The Lord our God shall be our strength in our trials and afflictions. Let us therefore, turn to the Lord our God and reverence Him. Let us learn to walk in the light of the Lord and basked in His comfort and favour as we seek to keep ourselves wrapped up in His amazing love. Come all who believe in the Saviour Jesus Christ, be exceedingly joyful and rejoice in Him for evermore as we hope in him. The Lord is indeed our Defense and High Tower, and is all we need to survive in our times of trials and afflictions. Today lift Jesus higher and rejoice in Him, he will never fail 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...
