 'It is good that a man should both hope and, quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord'
(Lamentations 3:26).

The Children of Israel complained and grumbled against the Living God, throughout their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. They at times want things their own way and not doing what God desires for them.
The Word of God is saying to us, wait quietly and trust that even when things are bad and reached its highest peak; our salvation is secure in Christ. We should not seek to do our own thing, in our own way, but give allowance for the Holy Spirit to work on our hearts, so we can do it God's way- the right way.
There are lessons to learn about God's great faithfulness and unfailing mercies, which are new every morning. We should learn to understand the importance of trusting the Lord and to wait in His timing
Our Lord had to endure many difficult and distressing circumstances while he was on earth seeking to save humanity. As Children of God, we too will face trials, tribulation, and insult from those who are of the Devil and do not know God. We must thank God for His steadfast, unchanging and never ending love; and His mercies that never cease. We thank the Lord that it is, a good thing to trust Him and to wait quietly and trustingly for His deliverance. Let us rest in the Lord and wait quietly for his salvation.
Just as Jeremiah learnt lessons through his school of afflictions, we too, who are facing serious and tumultuous conditions in a world of darkness. Let us learn in the very circumstances we are called upon to face - that is, it is good to trust in the Lord and to totally depend on Him. Let us seek out the Lord, and acknowledge His desire to teach us, that His mercies are new every morning and his faithfulness eternal. Let us trust and wait quietly, for deliverance, as we praise your name.

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
