 '...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

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
