 '...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...

 '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...

 '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 ...
