 '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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 '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...
