 'For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy towards them that fear him'
(Psalm 103:11).

Even though we know that Jesus died to save us, we still cannot fathom the depth of his love for humanity. But His unfailing love towards those who fear him is great as the height of the heaven above the earth. How amazing! When we think of the fear of God, it is about  reverence to Him. When we recognise that he is God and there is none like him, it should lead us to total obedience and humility. Have you ever gazed up into the heaven and marvelled at the creative power of God? Our eyes can only see what the naked eye can see, our mind cannot understand what's beyond. God's love is way beyond and extended further than we can imagine. It is immeasurable! When you recognise what God has done for you, it is mind bogging! You have to give him praise. It behoves us to obey God and walk after him and fear Him because his mercy is so great. We cannot measure the bounds of the universe, because our thoughts can't go there, but God's love is beyond all that. Those who reverence and serve him, recognise how great the mercy of God is. He loves us and will love us forever, regardless of what we have done, but  it is the bad choices we make that will separate us from God. Let us seek the Lord  right now, reverence and serve Him so we can experience His great mercy towards us. His mercy and love is incomparable and we can  only imagine the heights of the heaven as we see it, but only God sees beyond because He is the Creator. Only those who fear the Lord will experience the great heights of his love for them. Do you want to experience His love and great mercy? Then seek to reverence and glorify God.

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...

 '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.
