 '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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10).
