 'Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee' (Psalm 33: 22).

The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon all who fear him... (Psalm 103:17). We ought to hope in Christ and not in our own merit, but let it be according to the measure of grace, that  God has bestowed upon us. Let the fragrance of God's love refreshes our  mind and soul to give us hope and confidence in Him as our Lord. God is our help and shield, therefore, let us express our faith and dependence  on Him, in all our trials and our distresses. It is only God who is worthy of our praise, because of the salvation he gives to all who fear him. When we learn to trust and dependent upon God and his mercy, our lives will develop patience, endurance, confidence and joy. As we seek to trust God, let us affirm our allegiance to him, as we hope with expectancy, and being desirous of his favour towards us. Let our prayers seek favour with earnest supplication from the One who has the authority to give them. Let us learn to delight ourselves in the Lord, that he might grant us the desires of our heart. Let us learn and appreciate the goodness of God, which keep running after us, even when we don't deserve it. As we contemplate His sovereignty and his providence we will recognise his greatness and mighty power, which no other force could bring. Always trust the Almighty God, and remember his eye is upon his children, who reverence and hope in Him. He sees everything, good or bad and is acquainted with all our ways, as he seeks to guide us to a better way in Him. Let us rejoice in the Lord with gladness of heart, knowing He is a faithful God and is committed to us forever. So allow God to guide and lead you as He seek to save your soul. And let us hope in the Lord for an eternal fullness of joy as we trust his promises.

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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 '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 ...
