 'Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful' (Psalm 116:5).

No one could love except God place his love within them. God is love and he first love us, that we can experience and know how to love. The Psalmist said in Psalm 116: 1, "I love the Lord, because He hath heard my voice and my supplication." We love God because He is our God, who loves and gave his life for us, through the gift of his Son, Jesus Christ. When we acknowledge our sins and what God has done for us, we too like David, can utter the words, "Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful." If we want to know how gracious and righteous God is, we need to take a look at the Cross. God is merciful and that we know; He would not have been our God without being merciful, gracious and righteous. Our God is gracious, so we can have hope when we call upon Him. He is righteous in his justice towards us, we can safely and confidently trust His promises and rely upon them. He is merciful in pardoning us, when we come to Him and ask for forgiveness. In our times of need, we can call upon the Lord Jesus, the author and giver of all grace, to help us. God is not only faithful to us in his promises, but compassionate and a sympathising Saviour, who is able to save us out of all our troubles. Let us love the Lord, with all our heart, mind  and soul. He loves and sees us as a treasure, He delights in us and is a gracious God. Let us like Christ, testify of the truth that God is gracious, righteous and merciful.

Have a wonderful day

 '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...

 '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...

 'And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah' (Exodus 15:23). The Isralites were on a high after the Red Sea experience and their deliverance from slavery in Egypt and Pharaoh's army. The Lord led them this way become He wanted them to realise that He was their God, their Deliverer, and their Protector. The people  murmured against Moses and God, but the Lord showed them that He was still willing to guide and protect them and be their Healer, if they would look to Him. When they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters because they were bitter, so they murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink" (verse 24)? Sometimes  things happened to us in life, and we become very bitter and callous. It may be family issues; a friendship gone sour; conflicts; marriage broken down; sickness or even the death of a love one. But we need to guard against bitterness cree...
