'Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word' (Psalm 119:114).
We are God's creation, He created us out of pure love and for us to worship Him as our Creator. Sin caused us to be separated from the Father, but yet in His grace, mercy and justice, choose to reveal Himself and His plan of salvation to us through His inspired Word.
We cannot fathom God, neither do we understand the mystery of God. God is not taken by surprise anything we have done, because He knows the end from the beginning and is God.
He is our protector in times of adversity and our hiding place when we need refuge.
In the Scriptures, we see on numerous occasions, recorded by Moses, where God had protected Israel and had become their safe hiding place, and a protective shield from their enemies.
In this vicious world of sin, in which we live, the Lord is no less our shield and hiding place. He is our Rock in whom we hide, as He shelters us in the time of storm.
We have to believe His promises are sure and His Word trustworthy and true.
Troublesome times are upon us, and as Children of God, we need to stand steadfast in Jesus, looking to Him with confidence and assurance of His precious promises.
Let us through the power of the Holy Spirit, abide in Christ day by day, moment by moment. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us to patiently wait upon the Lord Jesus as we endure the trials and difficulties of life.
We have hope of the coming of the Lord, to rejoice in Him because we know He is coming back for his people who are faithful and obedient and trust in Him.
Let us seek to remain faithful, covered under the precious blood of Christ which cleanses us; that we may be able to stand in the evil days.
His God not worthy of our praise? Well, let's praise Him and give thanks with a grateful heart.
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
