 'Thou has set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance'
(Psalm 90:8).

Good is the All-knowing and the All-seeing God. He knows and sees everything about us, including our sin.  There is nothing hidden from His all-seeing eyes. We may have committed sin and inquity may have taken root in our hearts, of which we are ashamed of, or tried to cover up, but we cannot hide from God. Therefore, seek the Lord diligently, acknowledge those sins, confess them to the Lord, as you seek His forgiveness. The Lord loves us, but if we have sin and inquity in our hearts, and refuse to let go of them, the Lord will direct his wrath at us. He loves us, but hate the sins we have committed. The Bible tell us that the wages of sin is death, but he gift of God is eternal life through Christ. Know that, when God sets our iniquities before him, he will deal with them with severity. There are those who sinned against God openly and others secretly, and if they don't turn away from such deeds, will severely feel the hands of God upon them. If they don't confess these sins before God they will be lost for eternity. God is light and in him there is no darkness. So when we commit secret sins, He will unearth those hidden things and expose us to His marvellous light. We then have this glorious opportunity to seek His forgiveness and embrace the light of his countenance, as it shines in our hearts and around us. Let us not forsake the Lord, but allow his tender hands to guide us; knowing we have been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus, and are saved by His marvellous grace. Let us be ready to set our iniquities before the Lord, as well as, our secret sins, in the light of Christ's countenance.

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...

 '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...
