 'For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens;  God himself formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord' (Psalm 45:18).

It was by the Word of the Lord that the heavens and the earth were created. There wasn't then and isn't now, any other gods that has the power to create, but the living God. It is He himself who formed the earth, made it, and established it. The earth was void without form and out of such nothingness, God created a beautiful paradise for man and beast to inhabit. Our God is omnipotent and is indeed the Lord of everything. It was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, working together in oneness; who formed, made and established the earth. They are worthy of our praise and thanksgiving. As our Creator, we have obligation to God. Our duty is to fear God and  keep his commandments . We must serve, obey God and give glory and honour to him. We must seek to look after each other and the environment God had created. We need to understand that God did not creative a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited. In verse 12, God is saying, "I have made the earth, and created man upon it; I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." God is the creator and controller of the universe.  We see where He had used Cyrus, a heathen king to give the Jews their freedom and the chance to rebuild Jerusalem, without the having to do anything. God's Word has power and is sufficient for us,  but we must trust God. We must believe that salvation comes only from Christ, the One who has the ability and power to save. Trust God and lean on him in difficult times in the midst of such a chaotic world.

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...
