 '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

 '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 ...
