 'Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake'
(Psalm 79:9).

Salvation is not earned, but is a gift freely given by God through Jesus Christ, to all who will accept it. God is the God of our salvation and our help comes him. When we are in trouble or in the sea of afflictions, we can cry out to God for help and he will sustain and enable us to bear out trials and afflictions, with patient endurance and without murmur. He will help and save us for the glory of His name. He will deliver us from our enemies and afflictions, and purge away our sins by the blood and sacrifice of Christ. He will pardon and forgive us for Christ's   sake. We are privileged to have such a loving God, that even when He is angry with us, His aim is always to save us, because He is the God of our salvation. He doesn't do anything without warning us first. He warns us of what will happen if we are disobedient to him. So if we refuse to listen, then destruction may come upon us, according to what is fitting to him. However, when we are  obedient and call upon Him, he will have mercy on us and save us. Israel was invaded and Jerusalem in ruins when the Psalmist penned these words. He was pleading to God to help them for his glory, to deliver and atone for their sins for His name's sake. It is Christ alone who can save us and on Whom our salvation depends. We of ourselves bring nothing of our own in any way to influence God to have mercy upon us. It is only God's love and grace of which we are able to plea before Him of his own glory. Let us desire to obtain favour of God and acknowledge the death of  Christ who shed his precioud blood for us. If we make God the God of our salvation, we shall find Him to be so, because He never lies and cannot lie. He is our God and we can surely trust Him and place our confidence in Him.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
