 'The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him'
(Lamentations 3:24).

Everyday we are alive, there is hope. When we make the Lord our portion, then can we hope in Him. God's lovingkindness, His compassion and faithfulness, gives us hope inspite of all that's happening around us.
We all need the Lord, because we are sinners in need of God's grace and mercy. Therefore, we must gratefully receive whatever God brings into our lives.
Jeremiah the prophet witnessed and mourned for the downfall of the city of Jerusalem and for the sinfulness of God's people. As a result, he was in deep anguish and pain. From the depths of his soul, he was able to proclaim that, "The Lord is my portion...therefore, I have hope in Him."
Despite the terrible circumstances through which we are going, we can choose to place our hope in, and trust in God.
As we look around the world today, we see corruption; abominable actions; cruelty; wickedness; sufferings; unbelief; injustice, you name it. Our hearts are also grieved as that of Jeremiah. And like him, we know in Whom we have believed, and that He is able to keep us, and everything we have committed to Him.
Through this vicious world of sin, we can still see the hand of God and know He is in full control. We can proclaim that the Lord is our portion - therefore, we can hope in Him.
He is indeed the portion of His people in life and death; in time and eternity. Therefore, we can safely hope in Him.
The Bible tells us that the Lord is good to those Whose hope is in Him, and seeks him (verse 25).
Let us wait quietly and patiently for the salvation of the Lord! He is worth waiting for.

Have a wonderful day

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

 '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...

 '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 ...
