 'O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble' (Isaiah 33:2).

God's people will go through a time of trouble, as we approach the end of earth's history. But all those who stand upon the Word of God, and trust in the Living God, will be vindicated and their strength renewed. The Lord God, will be gracious unto us as we continue to wait upon Him. As we worship and pray to the Lord, He will be our arm every morning and our salvation in the time of trouble. We can safely lean and depend upon God. He is our Strong Tower, our Rock and Fortress and will never let us down. Let us lean and depend upon Him to support, protect and defend us. God will deliver His people from oppression and persecution in the last days, so let us faithfully hold onto Him. He is our Refiner and will refine us in time of trouble, set to come upon this earth. All who are willing to deny self; to agonise before God and pray earnestly for His blessings will be granted such blessing. Our loving God will send his angels to comfort and protect us in time of trouble and despair. Let us by faith believe and trust God. The Lord's eye is ever on His people and His ear listens to our cries. Let us therefore, not be weary of waiting for our God, but be patient and endure till the end. Our faith will be tested severely, but let us keep standing on the promises of God and believe that Jesus, who died to save us, will vindicate us in the end. Let us pray and encourage each other and strengthen one another as we walk the Christian pathway.

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 ...
