'He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name'
(Psalm 111:9).
God's love is amazing and perfect. Sin could not prevent or stop Him from loving us! His love goes beyond what we can ever think or imagine. When Israel cried out to Him in Egypt, He sent Moses to redeem them from the bondage of slavery; but more importantly, when sin came into the world, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to redeem his people from the bondage of sin. All those who accepted Christ as their Saviour and Redeemer, God has sent them to spread His Word of redemption to a world in darkness, through the power of His Holy Spirit. He has commanded His covenant of grace to his people forever through Christ. It is only through Christ and that anyone can be saved. He has redeemed us, and we are His. God's covenant cannot be altered, because it has been ratified by the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, we must love and fear God. He is holy and his name is holy and reverend. It is Christ who saves us from the crutches of Satan and sets us free. And if Christ set us free, we are free indeed! Let us thank God for Jesus, and His mercies towards us, who by His blood has established a more better and excellent sacrifice than those of animals set upon better promises. We have so much to be grateful and thankful for, that the act of redemption was completed in Christ our Redeemer. Let us seek to reverend the name of the Lord, which is holy. Because at the name of the Lord, we ought to rejoice with trembling as we uttered it in awe. Let us seek the Lord right now, when He can be found, obey His Word, do His will and reverend His holy name. Christ paid it all for us on Calvary that through him we can be saved for eternity. We can have all of that, if we choose to make him first and last in our lives.
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
