 '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

 '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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

 '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 ...
