 'For the Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king, he will save us'
( Isaiah 33:22).

The Lord Jesus Christ is our Judge, committed to Him by the Father. He will Judge his people and right their wrongs. He is the One who has written His laws on our hearts and put His right Spirit within us, to enable us to keep them.
The Lord is our king and will save us from all our sins with an everlasting salvation.
Isaiah is reminding us that the Lord is our Judge  and is on our side. He is not looking to condemn us but to save us from our sins. He as our Judge, will judge us right and his judgment will be base on His will and his grace and love.
We ought to be grateful that Christ is indeed our Judge, because He is holy and righteous and we do not have to fear his judgment.
Our future and our life are secure in Him, as our king, when He returns for his people. We ought to recognise and acknowledge Christ as our Judge, Lawgiver and King. He has the right to rule our consciences, to rule and guide us by His Word. He will never fail us, therefore, we should allow Him to guide our path and our footsteps, by His Word. He is the only way of obtaining  salvation.
The Lord is our Judge to whom we are accountable, whose judgment we ought to abide in. He is our King in whom we pay homage, allegiance and tribute, who is able to save us to the utmost. He is our lawgiver and His Word is a law to us, which lead us to Him and we must be in total obedience to Him.
Let us seek the Lord daily  and allow Him to work on our hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit. God is aware of what is taking place in our lives, so we have no need to fear. He has the power and wisdom and love to either allow the situation to run its course or to stop what's happening. Whatever He does is in his time and according to his will and purpose, not ours. Therfore, only trust Him and He will save you.

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 ...
