 'Some trust in chariots,  and some in horses: But we will remember the name of the Lord our God' (Psalm 20:7)

To whom do you put your trust, God or man? The Bible said we are to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean to our own understanding. But in all ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct our path (Proverbs 3:5-6). God knows everything we are going through right now and in the future, because He is the Alpha and Omega - the Beginning and the End. He knows what is best for each of our situation and the possible outcome for them for He is God. All we need  to do is to simply trust and follow Him. We like David, need to express total confidence in the Lord, because He is more powerful than any army's chariots and horses; any guns and missiles or nuclear weapons. Do you remember what the Bible says God did with Pharaoh's chariots and horses in the Red Sea? They were no match for the mighty power of God!  When we hope in the steadfast love of God, He will deliver our souls from  death; protect and provide for us. In times pass nations would boast and glory in their chariots  and horses as they go to war. In this day and age it is bombs, nuclear power and weapon of destruction. But as believers, we will remember the name of the Lord our God. Let us seek to know the 'I Am," the Immutable ever-present God; Jehovah, the One who created us and called us to Him. In meditation we can recount His power, his goodness, his mercy as we remember his name. Let us remember the name of Jesus, knowing salvation and victory are His. Therefore, we can reflect upon the the perfection of God, such as his wisdom and power, making mention of him, of His words, attributes and works. Let  us be confident in times of trouble that we can trust Him and not in an arm of flesh. Let us give Him thanks for being our God; our Creator; our High Tower and our Father. Learn to have faith and trust in God. It is worth it!

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10). When we k
