 'Teach me thy way, O Lord: I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear your name' (Psalm 86:11)

The fear of the Lord is not natural in the heart of man; but when we walk in the Lord's truth with a united heart we will reverence Him.
We must ask of the Lord to teach us His way - the way of his commandments, his grace and salvation.
We cannot unite our hearts to fear the Lord, because of our sinfulness, it is the Lord who has given us such a heart to fear Him.
When we are in trouble and perplexity, look to the Lord for help and teaching. He will teach us His wisdom and mercy, that we may walk in His truth.  As we are taught by the Lord, we must practice that which we have been taught, and let it saturate our heart and mind and soul.
Like David, we can ask the Lord to unite our hearts to fear his name. To fear God is the beginning of wisdom; it is also growth and maturity of wisdom.
We are to search the Scriptures daily and conform to it, as we walk in the Lord's truth. Our lives must be a living testimony to the truth of God.
We must seek to be obedient to the will of God; to walk in His truth; to unite out hearts to fear  his name; having the mind of Christ, having one view and purpose -  that of the Lord.
Let us not turn our backs on Christ, but ask him to teach us his way, reflect on His Word daily and receive the high calling of the Lord.
Let us pray earnestly for the Lord to do these things in our lives, so we can help others to walk in truth and honour Him in every faucet of their lives.
If you do not have a relationship with God, now is the time to do so and allow the Lord to lead your life and unite your heart to fear Him.

Have a wonderful day

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 '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...

 'And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah' (Exodus 15:23). The Isralites were on a high after the Red Sea experience and their deliverance from slavery in Egypt and Pharaoh's army. The Lord led them this way become He wanted them to realise that He was their God, their Deliverer, and their Protector. The people  murmured against Moses and God, but the Lord showed them that He was still willing to guide and protect them and be their Healer, if they would look to Him. When they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters because they were bitter, so they murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink" (verse 24)? Sometimes  things happened to us in life, and we become very bitter and callous. It may be family issues; a friendship gone sour; conflicts; marriage broken down; sickness or even the death of a love one. But we need to guard against bitterness cree...
