'He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he'
(Deuteronomy 32:4).

Moses referred to God as   "the Rock," because He knew he was the only true rock. He described God as a God of faithfulness, who is without injustice - One who is righteous and upright in all His ways. Moses proclaimed it in a song of praise to the Lord. He could attest to this, as a result of his encounter with and experience of Him in a mighty way.
From the time of the burning bush; him leading Israel from the bondage of Egypt; to the Red Sea; the wilderness experience; to him missing out on the Promise Land. Wow! What an experience and journey that must have been.
It was God who had chosen Israel as a special people, to bring light to the heathen nations around who were in utter darkness. He had redeemed them, established and guarded them as the apple of His eye. He had promised them great blessings, if they would trust Him and His Word. But they were a rebellious and perverse generation, who having been delivered from Egypt by God, did not enter the Promise Land, except for Caleb and Joshua.
God was faithful in chastening His people and patient in seeking to bring them back to Himself, but they kept rejecting him and lack faith in him. Moses, God's faithful servant, prepared the new generation and taught them about God, and recalled the ways of their forefathers, so they wouldn't make the same mistakes as they did.
All these things which happened were wriiten- down for our learning. Therefore, we should use the experiences of Israel as a lesson. We should experience God for ourselves and sing of His goodness, be faithful and turn away from evil surmising.  As Children of God, bought with the precious blood of Jesus, we must avoid the many mistakes Israel made and be careful not to fall into apostasy, or doubt God's Word or lack faith in Christ.
Let us live to honour the Lord, who is faithful and just in all His ways, righteous and true in all He does. Let us seek to grow in grace by the power of the Holy Spirit; to love the Lord more, and live by faith in Christ Jesus, and not by sight. We ought to give God thanks that he is our Rock and that his work is perfect. Let us not reject the Rock of our salvation, who is a shelter in the time of storm. He is our rock of ages that will endure forever. He is the Saviour of the world and the foundation of our faith and hope - Christ Jesus our Lord.
He is truly upright and faithful; our Mediator and Judge. Let us look to Him, because we are only safe 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...

Devotional - 24th Aug 2020

 '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 ...
