'No there is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God' ( 1 Samuel 2 :2).
Hannah was barrened for a very long time, and kept praying to the Lord for a son. She promised the Lord if he gave her a son, she would give him unto the Lord all the days of his life... (1 Samuel 1:11).
God heard and grant her a son. She was overjoyed and with much rejoicing, prayed to the Lord, "There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God." Only she knew how the Lord has truly blessed her and what he has done for her; that she could fill her heart with joy and her mouth with praise to her Lord and King, the Holy One of heaven. What have the Lord done for you lately? How did you respond to His blessing? Did you, like Hannah fill with gladness, rejoiced, celebrated and gave God thanks? We must seek to give God praise, glory, adoration and thanks in all circumstances. He is God and there is none beside him, there is none holy but by him. We should celebrate in thankfulness to the true and living God; the solid Rock Jesus Christ, who is indeed the Rock of all ages, and our salvation. Shall we fear anything? The answer is no! Because our safety and protection are centred in Christ, who is the Rock, and of which there is no other rock like him. His grace is sufficient for us, we are made perfect in his love, as our mind is stayed on him, and there is none like our Lord. Praise God! He is Sovereign, Mighty, Powerful, Holy and his love know no bounds. He is the Rock of refuge for his people, justice and peace are his nature, there is no other rock that can do what our Lord can do. He is Jehovah, the only One, eternal and infinite, who sees and knows all things. Know that, in our distress we can cry out to Him and if we believe that He will answer our prayers, He will. If we fail to ask we will not receive, or if we ask amiss we will not get the answers we seek or the blessings we are looking for. Let our asking be a way to glorify God, ask unselfishly!
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
