 'For thou art my rock and fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me' (Psalm 31:3).

Jehovah is our rock and fortress, and in him is our protection. Without Him we are absolutely nothing. In our difficulties we call upon the name  of Jesus, because there is no safety and security outside of Him. He alone is our very present help in the time of trouble. We can always run to Christ, who is our rock. We must understand that not because we are children of God, we think we are  exempt from any difficulties and dangers that may come upon us. But He did promised he would be with us through these difficult times and that is grace is sufficient for us. We should praise Him everyday; make him our first priority as we give him honour and total praise. Let us pray to the Lord to lead and guide us. We should delight and meditate upon Him in each waking moments, knowing Christ is our portion, and of such, we have the privilege to pray even in tough times. Like David, who was able to claim that God was his rock and submit to his perfect leading. We too can seek those  claims as our hope and confidence in the Lord increase. Let it be our desire for the Lord to lead us in the way of truth and path of righteousness, as we stand on the His Word; to guide us by the His Spirit, so we might walk upright. Anyone who is not wrapped up in Christ, is capable of losing their soul. Today I called you to come to Jesus and allow him to purge you from your sins and He will  remember  them no more for his name's sake. Trust God and let him lead and guide you for his name's  sake. Don't lose out on eternity with Christ.

Have a wonderful da

 '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...
