 'The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure' (Psalm 111:7).

God is faithful and true, and everything he does tell of his love, his power and might. We ought to trust that He can perfect us with His righteousness through Christ Jesus. His laws and his testimony are sure and can be trusted completely, and  believed as the sure word of truth. God in his faithfulness acts faithfully and righteously towards his people, without a trace of partiality. It behoves us to  give him total praise! Everything He had proclaimed shall be found worthy of our obedience, as we stand on his unchangeable word. His commandment stands forever and are done in truth and uprightness. Therefore, His wonderful works must be a cause to praise Him. That is, we must fear Him, honour him, obey him and praise him. And  as we respond to God in this marvellous way, He will respond to us in the most loving way, enriching out lives with a sense of security and confidence. Christ's righteousness is a means for our salvation, granted freely by him, by grace through faith to all who believe. As believers we need to rely on the sure Word of God, his statutes and his law which are worthy of confidence and truth. As we testify of God's goodness, let us praise and give glory and honour to His name. Let us fear the Lord and allow him to rule in our hearts, so we may conscientiously keep his commandments and do them. We need to remember that the works of his hands are true and just and fair, as his commandments are sure.

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 ...
