 'Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee'
(Psalm118:28).

God is awesome, mighty and wonderful, and is our God. We ought therefore, to give Him thanks, praise and exalt him, when we rise up in the morning until we go to sleep at night. We need to give glory to God in praise and thanksgiving because He is worthy of our worship. We must learn to come to God with a grateful heart, to rejoice and be glad in Him; knowing He is our God, the reason for our very existence. Jesus when he was on earth prayed that God would glorify him, the Son, that He may also glorify the Father. No matter what the circumstances may be in our lives, we are God's creation and was created for worship. Let us praise God with every breath we take, in humbleness and with confidence in His divine grace. Let us seek always to exalt Him as our Creator and Deliverer from sin, our God in whom we trust; let us exalt Him forever. We must acknowledge that Jehovah is the true and living God, who we ought to worship in spirit and in truth, to magnify and lift up his holy name. It is a good thing to give God thanks, for his mercy endures forever. Our reliance is on Christ our Saviour and not on our feeble human strength.  God knows the importance of praise and thanksgiving for his Children, how it would connect us to him and each other. Today, He has called us to worship and exalt Him, as our Creator of the heavens and the earth. Let us seek to lift up the name of Jesus and magnify Him; to give  praise and joyful thanks to Him, who has bought us with a price - with His precious blood. Let God's will be done in our lives, as we align our will to His will. Let Jesus in your heart, and give him total praise, as you exalt his name on high.

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...

 '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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
