 '...The Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation' (Psalm 149:4).

Those who are humble, the Lord will find pleasure in them, and rejoice over them to do good. The Lord does take pleasure in his people, therefore as believers we must take pleasure in him. For those who are humble or meek, he promised to beautify with salvation. They feel their need of His salvation, which He graciously bestowed upon them. We must seek to worship the Lord with the utmost exultation, because He is God and worthy to be praise. The God of love does take pleasure in all his Children, but those who are meek as Jesus was meek and lowly while He was on earth,  are exceptional. He beautify them with joy and peace; gladness and contentment, holiness, and they bow prostate at His feet with joy and thanksgiving as they praise their Sovereign King. Christ himself will adorn them with good works, sanctified and restore them to the image of God, lost as a result of sin. Let us seek to have this amazing quality, which is one the fruit of the Spirit. When we ask of the Lord, he will grant us with this quiet spirt of meekness. When we love and trust the Lord and have the spirit of meekness, the Lord will take pleasure in us. We who are washed in the precious blood of Jesus, and clothed in his righteousness, as we submit to the will of God, will find pleasure in him. The meek are not easily provoked, free from envy and malice, kindhearted, thinks no evil, suffers long and depend upon God's grace to sustain them. Let us seek to have the spirt of meekness as we trust in God and rely upon him for our eternal salvation. For the Lord will take pleasure in us and beautify us with salvation. Let this be our desire today.

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...

 '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...

 '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...
