 'When you passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when though walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee'
(Isaiah 43:2).

God is faithful and true and his promises are sure. He promises to be there when you go through deep waters; through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown; or through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up nor will the flames consume you; because He is the Lord your God, your Saviour.
In your most difficult times, God will support you and give you strength and deliver you out of danger without harm. When we go through the storms of life, God said, we should not fear or let our hearts be troubled, for He is with us, we should not be dismayed for he is our God. We are redeemed by the precious blood of Lord Jesus Christ, and whatever life throws at us, the Lord promised never to leave us nor to forsake us. We need these wonderful promises to encourage and strengthen us in these difficult times we are living in. We must take comfort in the fact that we are God's Children, who are bought with a price and belong to the Father. All who believe in the Lord Jesus and give their heart to him, are reconciled to God by his blood, and are privileged to call God, 'Abba, Father.' Today, we have the assurance of God's promises of protection, and His help is available to all who call upon His name. We are facing spiritual battles everyday and God's help and protection are stedfast and sure. Let us seek the Lord diligently, earnestly and wholeheartedly, trusting him at His Word. Let us believe what God says to us, and rest in the knowledge of His Sovereignty and being God of the Universe. Let us trust God in all circumstances of life, because He who has promised is faithful and will never let us down or let us go.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 '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...

 '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...

 '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...
