 '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...

'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 ...
