'Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people
(Psalm3:8).
Prayer is very important in the Christian' walk, and is a way to communicate to God.
When we trust in God and the Son, Jesus by faith, we receive the gifts of salvation. It is a free gift that belongs to God, who shares it by grace with all who believe and trust Jesus for our salvation, even though we do not deserve it.
So many times we take our eyes off Jesus, focusing on other distractions. Our trust in God falters, and when we allow our hearts to fail within us, as we experience uncertainty and other events happening in our lives, and of those we love, we lost sight of the Lord.
However, it is of utmost importance to look to Jesus for strength, and rely on Him to provide all our needs, according to His riches in glory.
David went through a lot and many times he became despondent and depressed, but he always acknowledged the faithfulness of God to finish the good work that He had begun into his life. As human beings we are not immune to such emotions. Many people in the Bible are swayed by circumstances that happened in their lives.
David a man after God's own heart was moved by the insurmountable tasks that he had to accomplished and was often overwhelmed by challenges he faced in his life.
All of us at some point in time get swayed by the pressures of life and are overwhelmed by challenging circumstances, like David. And we too come to the knowledge that the Lord is our Rock and our Fortress and our salvation, that His blessings are upon us his people. We have to give thanks and praise to the Lord, Most High. Let us understand and believe that salvation belongs to the Lord alone, who is our refuge and strength and will be with us in time of trouble.
Let us therefore, cast all our cares upon Christ, for he cares for us. If we could only trust Him!
Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend
'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
