 'The Lord shall preserve thee from evil: He shall preserve thy soul' ( Psalm 121:7).

The Lord our God is our protector and will keep us safe from dangers and harm, from the evil that surrounds of which we are fearful. We need to understand that even though we may experience difficulties, hardship, pain and grief, Jesus is still keeping us, but will one day take away every hint of pain and suffering forever. No matter how difficult our lives might be today, God is with us now and forever and our future is secure in his loving and gracious hands. We therefore have a responsibility to be in a saving relationship with God; to know and believe in Christ our Saviour and Presever. Christ our Lord will keep us from all influences of evil and in evil times. He will protect and cover us under his wings where we can safely abide. He is the keeper of our souls and promised to preserve it from the dominion of sin. We will not be puffed up with pride, but be kept in the love of God. When the Lord promises to preserve us from evil, it includes every kind of evil, whether it be implicit or explicit. God's divine grace changes and transforms everything it touches, so we have no need to fear, as long as we are in Christ Jesus. There is a great promise made by the Lord, to preserve us from evil and to preserve our souls. All we got to do is to believe it and claim it by faith in Jesus, and rest on him to perform it. The Word of the Lord is immutable, he has spoken it and it will come to pass, so we have nothing to fear. Jesus our Saviour is the preserver of all things, including our body and soul, and will preserve our soul for eternity. Let the Lord have total control over your life and he will protect you from evil and keep your soul. Let us have confidence and hope in God, who cares for all that will seek him; and who will eradicate evil forever. He promises to keep you safe and protect you from evil and preserve your soul.

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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
