Where does your help come from?

 Micah 7:7

As for me, I look to the LORD for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.

This is so true for me, my help comes from the Lord. Over the years, I have learned to put my trust on the Lord, no matter the situation may be. It is true that nothing is too big or too small for the Lord, He says if it concerns you then it concerns Him; and it should be brought to Him. This inline with Psalm 121:1-2 that says: "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth." This is the confidence that we should have at all times. Life is full of curve balls, one needs to know exactly where to run to, when times are tough, and having a standpoint that God is my refuge, helps as when storms hit, you go straight to Him without bothering and putting a burden on people, but you go to the Source. God does not expect us to burden our loved ones with our troubles, seeking answers from them, they are not our Heavenly Father. He expects us to go to Him, the One who will have a proper answer and solution for you.

When you do so, also be willing to wait on His answer for help, as being impatient can ruin something good that God may have started preparing for you, as an aid to your request. God is not deaf, or maybe fall asleep sometimes, meaning when you pray and believe, know that He has heard you and He will respond. The verse for today reminds us also the importance of having full confidence on Him, that He will save you. Proverbs 3:5 says: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding." This tells us to trust Him and His plans, without relying on our own understanding or what we see at the time. Trust 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 turbul...

We have peace bacause of what Christ has done for us...

 Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Peace is everything to me, when there's something not right in my spirit, I become uncomfortable, unsettled and unhappy. Which is why it is so pleasing to hear that we have been made right with God by faith, by an act of Jesus obeying and seeing it through for Him to be crucified like that, has made us righteous with God and He is pleased with us. This verse tells us that we have peace with God, what a relief this is! No longer do we have to worry about the mistakes we made and the shame they brought us, but because Jesus' blood cleansed us completely, we can have peace in our hearts and just enjoy our relationship with our Father. Isaiah 44:22 says " I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isn't thi...

Don't conform to the world standards...

 Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. As the body of Christ, we are meant not to conform to the standards, norms and behaviours of this world, which could lead us straight to the path of unrighteousness. But we are meant to follow the example set by Christ, as our great Shepherd. By so doing, we are meant to lead others to Christ by our behaviours and the way we live life. Jesus as our example, has set for us the standard of living, which  is totally different from the world. For example, the world says be selfish and look out for yourself and don't share with others to preserve your resources. But Christ's way is the very opposite, one of being selfless, being considerate of others and being generous.  This bible verse tells us that when we allow the Lord to transform us, in the way we...
