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 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
