 'The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretted against the Lord' (Proverbs 19:3).

There are many people who fail to trust God, and do there own thing. They choose their own way and ruin their lives by their own foolishness. When calamity befall them, they simply become angry at the Lord and blame him for it. Fools laugh at true wisdom, because they think they have a better way than God; but God will bring all their follies into judgement. It is vitally important to note that, most problems we have are as a result of our own fault. We disobey God and make bad choices, so our choices have nothing to do with God, that we should be angry against Him. God has given us everything we need to serve and obey Him. His
 Word testifies of His love and his goodness; His Sovereignty and providence; His mercy and his grace; His faithfulness and his compassion. When we choose our own foolish ways, these choices come back to haunt us, then if we are not careful we murmur and blame   God for the difficulties that have arise, as a result of our own foolish choices. We must realised that our ways are not God's way, but God's way is always the best way. As believers, let not our heart fret against the Lord in any way, lest we fall into sin. Those who fret against God through their own foolishness, their murmur is like poison pouring out of their hearts. They become angry with God and act as if God had done them wrong, when it was them who wronged themselves. Therefore, they need to humble themselves before God and confess their follies that led to their predicament. Let us seek out God and purpose in our hearts to follow his way, and not our ways, which are perverted. God is always willing to work with us at all times, so let us choose His way and work with Him, that we will be able to spend eternity with Him when Christ returns.

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...

'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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always.
