 'He hath made the earth by His power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion'
(Jeremiah 10:12).

We are created beings, created by God to worship him. He who hath made the earth by his power, put the stars in place and hang the earth in space, spoke and everything was done. He not only created them, but sustained and preserved all things; He   is indeed worthy and should be worshipped - him alone. It is God, the true and living God of the Universe, that established the world by his wisdom and who have stretched out the heavens by his discretion or understanding. Israel was God's chosen people, who were to be a light to the heathen nations around. They  copied the practices of these nations, and worshipped their idols, instead of the true and living God. It is the Almighty God who created the universe and sustained it, whereas those senseless and lifeless idols could not have done. Yet still Israel chose to leave God and worshipped them. What are our gods today? Is it our fame, self, money, education, or maybe other man made images? Can they protect you, provide and sustain you in any way? Can they see, ear, speak or even touch you? Let us remember the true and living God, who loves and wants to save us, to spend eternity with us. Let us seek this loving God through the study and meditation of His Word, through prayer and supplications. Let us through the power of the Holy Spirit be rooted and grounded in the faith, ascribing all glory to God, the One who can save us to the utmost. It is God, who by His wisdom sets the world in order. The sea knows not to pass its boundaries, its set aside on the earth to retain its own habitation and is prevented from covering the earth. The heaven is expanded by God's knowledge as it covers the earth like a canopy. How mighty and awesome is our God? We see many variations of the earth; the plains, the rugged terrain of the mountains, the gently or steepness of the hills, the various trees and plants that increase in beautify, the sandy white beaches, the cascading waters from rocks and many more in a world that is marred with sin. The beauty and majesty of the heavens, with all its amazing elements declare who is the true God. Let us celebrate and worship God in spirit and in truth, only He alone is worthy of our praise and allegiance.

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 ...
