 'For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding'
(Psalm 47:7).

God is indeed the great King over all the earth. The ruler of all nations; the God of the universe. We ought to sing praises unto Him with understanding, that He is the King of all the earth. Let us worship with psalms and prayers; and praise God thoughtfully, intelligently and with deep appreciation of His Sovereignty and Providence. Let us make melody in our hearts to the King, in singing of hymns and psalms with understanding. We must understand what it is we are singing and why we are singing; and be delighted and enjoy what we are singing to the most high God. To him who seek to understands the wisdom and knowledge of God, and accept by faith the Lord Jesus Christ; let them sing praise to the King of all the earth joyfully. Let us sing praises and give honour to our exalted Redeemer; exalt His name, celebrate Him and confess that He is our Creator, Redeemer and Lord. He is the glory of God the Father. Let us endeavour to have our hearts filled with great and good thoughts of God, as the Psalmist did. Let us seek to do the will of God by submitting to Him our will, because He knows what is good for us better than we do for ourselves. Let us not be ashamed to praise our God, but to praise Him as our King with understanding.

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...

 '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...
