 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress, or persecutions, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?'
 (Romans 8:35).

It is a wonderful thing to know, that if we trust God and believe in His Son Jesus, nothing shall separate us from His love. Paul is urging us to understand that though sufferings continue, God is still with us and will see us through. There is nothing we do that keep Christ from loving us. He does  love us with an everlasting love, regardless of trials or tribulation. He is there through those trials, afflictions; our needs whether it be physical, spiritual and emotional; persecution for our faith in Christ. None of these things, can separate us from Christ's love. All believers who aspired to be in Christ, and have been saved by their faith are encouraged of God's great love for us, and feel secured before him. We have the confidence that God is for us, he loves us, even as we abide in Christ. Paul asked the question, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Nothing or no one can separate us from the love of Christ." God will not leave us  because he loves us and send His Son Jesus to die for us. Christ not only died, but rose again and is at the right hand of His Father, interceding for us. We ought to give God thanks
and praise that Christ is alive and loving us. There is nothing that can truly separate us from Christ, but protect us from any separation. Let us ponder and reflect on these words from Paul, "shall tribulation or distress, or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?" No, not one of these can separate us from the love of Christ. Let us allow God to use us for his purpose and will.

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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

'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...
