 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preseveth the faithful, and plentifully rewarded  the proud doer' (Psalm 31:23).

We are called to love the Lord, not only by words but by deeds. We are to express it under a sense of the love God has towards us.
We ought to appreciate God's amazing love for us and reverence him; trust in him and give thanks to him, as a result of his kindness towards us, and because he is also God.
God in his mercy will preserve us, as we trust in Him; as we believe in Christ our Saviour; being faithful to  his word and abide by them.
God is a covenant-keeping God, who is always faithful. He is true to his word and his promises to his people. He will reward those who are self-righteous and proud doers according to their works.
Let us therefore, truly praise and exalt the name of the Lord, because we love Him deeply, and know that He  will preserve those who are faithful.
We are admonished in the Scriptures, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, and strength and mind. It is the whole duty of man to fear God and keep His commands.
Let us recognised our strength in the Lord, and acknowledged that our source of grace is from him. When we allow Him to work in and through us, it will lead us to give praise to Him for His abundant mercy and power, through the influence and power of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord our God does preserve his people and honour faithfulness, even  if there are scoffers who mocked us in this world of sin. It is only God who will bless his people and deal justly with those who mocked, scoffed or oppressed them. Let us lean on Jesus and trust Him who is faithful.

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 ...
