Our refuge in time of trouble...

 Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him,

God is our shelter and our hiding place.  When trouble hits, we can run to Him for help, protection and guidance. He is our ever-present help. The key is to remember that God is on our side and He will not condemn us (Jesus sorted that out); instead, we can come boldly before Him and ask for help. Remember the story about the prodigal son, in the book of Luke 15, the story is an illustration of how God sees us. The prodigal son took his inheritance, went away, spent all his money and found himself in trouble, with no food and no place to stay. He decided to go back home and ask for forgiveness from his father and ask if he can work for him. However, we are told that when the son came back, his father embraced him, welcomed him with open arms and threw a party for him as he was joyful that his son had returned home. In the same way, we might find ourselves in trouble, feeling guilty that we might've dropped the ball somehow, but God is already waiting for us to run to Him. He will not condemn us, instead He will use the opportunity to show us His affection.

The Lord is good all the time. Never listen to the enemy's voice that wants to condemn you and make you feel guilty and bad, such that you turn away from God thinking that either He doesn't care for you or feeling ashamed, instead run to Him! He is ready and willing to help you out. All you need to do is believe in Him.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
