 'And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee'
(Psalm 39:7).

What is it one should expect of life? Sinners in a world of sin, have no hope except in Christ. Life without Christ ends in eternal death. Our days are numbered, seventy years are alloted to us, but we know not how long we have on this earth. The Psalmist looking at man, says that at our best state is altogether vanity. If we trust in the Lord, expecting all good things from Him, we do well. Everything under the sun is vanity, but in Christ we hope, and in Him alone. Whatever our state of mind, we need to surrender all to Christ and totally trust Him who is able to see us through. David saw the condition of the world and that men were only deceiving themselves, as they allowed the things of this earth to cloud their minds. He began to search his soul and appeal to God and his own conscience. We too in our time, see the condition of this world. Where sin is concern it's no different from in David's time, because sin is sin in whatever age we live. There are people who do not want to know God, while there are some who believe there is no God. They are full of themselves and is altogether vanity. But as believers, what do we wait for? The manifestation of Christ in our personal life. We need to be guided by the Holy Spirit, so our souls be brought to focus upon the Saviour, Jesus Christ, the center of our hope. Therefore, let us wait upon the Lord, separate ourselves from the things of the world and cling to the Creator, Presever, Saviour, Mediator and High Priest. Let us wait for Him with patience and thanksgiving, in prayers and supplications, because He is Eternal and our hope is in Him. We are all sinners saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us seek to have the mind of Christ; obey the Word of God; and have the Will of God. Let us like David, desire to be delivered from all our transgressions, for cleansing as we hope in Him. Everyday we are tempted to sin, but as we seek Christ daily we are better able to overcome those temptations. Let us not allow Satan to point the finger of scorn against us, but to cry out to Jesus for deliverance from the doubts and temptations Satan pulled us into daily. Our God is in control over everything, we just need to trust Him, who in His own time will solve all things. In all of our trials, temptations, afflictions, hardships and even persecutions, let us hold onto Jesus and hope in Him.  

Have a wonderful day

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
