 'Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day'
(Psalm 25:5).

Despite the constant pressures, oppression and challenges David faced in his life, he never stop trusting or relying on God. He always looked to the Lord in his prayers, with faith and obedience to the Word of God. David trusted in the Lord in times of great danger and waited upon Him with endurance, for his help and deliverance. We must make the Word of God our food that will nourish us spiritually; we must study and digest the Word of wisdom and truth; to live in obedience to God's Word as we seek to know and have a personal relationship with Him. When we allow God to lead us in his truth, and teach us the way to him, we will certainly know the truth, which shall set us free from sin. We will acknowledge Him as the God of our salvation, granted us through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord. We will choose to wait upon the Lord all the day, to renew our strength. As we pray for God's guidance and deliverance each step of life's journey, let us align our will with his and hope  in expectation for his deliverance and saving grace. Time and time again God has proven himself faithful. Let us too learn to be faithful to our God and allow Him to lead us by the way of his truth, that we might be able to manifest his spirit. Let us seek to have a teachable spirit to learn of Him and Christ crucified; to be sanctified by His truth as we continue to wait upon him. God is gracious and longsuffering towards us and must not grow weary of waiting upon Him. Today, allow the Holy Spirit work in and through you to transform your life and equip you for service to God. Let it be your desire to have a closer walk with Christ and to draw closer to His throne of grace, as you seek to worship the Lord your God.

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...
