 'The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say destroy them'
(Deuteronomy 33:27).

The eternal God is our source of refuge and a dwelling place of safety. We can find protection and security in Him, as we experienced the storms of life. He was always there for Israel, throughout their wilderness experience, as a source of comfort and strength, as He is for us in our own Christian experience. For He is our everlasting God, our refuge, and underneath are his everlasting arms to support and save us in our times of trouble and from our adversaries. It is through His Word and by His Holy Spirit, that the eternal God reveal himself to us. That's how we know Him and what his purpose for us are. Let us through the study and meditation of His Word, know and understand that He is our protector in a perverse world, who seek to do us harm. We must realise that He is our Refuge and strength, and underneath are his everlasting arms to uphold, strengthen, protect and support us. As we look inwardly, let us recognise our sinfulness; flee for refuge in Christ and seek to find safety and support in His everlasting arm. His mighty hands are under the world to uphold it; to  His church to support it; and his people whom he bears up under their trials, afflictions and temptations, as he carries them lovingly in his arms. Christ, our Lord shall thrust out Satan from the lives of his people and destroy him forever. For those who are enemies of his people, the Lord will also thrust out before them, and give the order to destroy them. He will make His people more than conqueror over them. Let us trust in the Lord and give our hearts totally to Him, who is able to sustain, protect, support in times of trouble, and uphold us underneath his everlasting arms.

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 ...
