 'Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man' (Psalm 108:12).

It is God whom we should seek help from in times of trouble and not man. The help of man is useless and will bring disappointment.
When our confidence in man is gone, we have to pray with every ounce of confidence in God. We shall not find it vain to seek the help of God.
It  is the Devil who is the cause of all our troubles. God allows it because He wants us to trust Him totally.
1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walked about  seeking whom he may devour."
It is God who can help you in difficult situations, not man, whose help is in vain. Therefore, you ought to trust God and not man.
Today if you're facing a difficult situation or trouble, ask God to help you through these tough times; pray and place it in His hands, because He is faithful and will deliver you.
We are living in a world of sin where everyone is for themself. People's heart are so cold and evil and trouble is just a natural consequence of this sinful world, where Satan is battling for our minds.
We surely need the Lord, more than ever before. With Him we will do valiantly.
It is from the Lord that we get our strength and can do all things through Christ.
Let us put our confidence in the Lord, rather than man, as we rely on the Lord for our strength.
Without the Lord we can do nothing, but through Him we can be victorious and accomplish great things.
Let us learn from David, how to truly praise the Lord, as we bring ourselves in a right relationship with Him.
Listen! Hand your troubles over to the Lord with confidence because he shall tread down your enemies and make you victorious. Trust God! He is ever faithful and will not let us down.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend.
Happy holidays!

 '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 ...
