The Lord is our refuge, in time of trouble

 Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Because God loves and cares for us so much, He has become our refuge, our hiding place. When trouble comes, we run to Him like our Father, who will receive us with warm arms and protect us. As our Father, He is willing and able to defend us, with what we may be facing, He is able to take vengeance (Romans 12:19), on our behalf as He wants us to remain with a clean heart. He urges us to forgive and let go, whilst He would handle the matter for us, in His own time and in His own way. What a wonderful Father we have!

This is why it is important to know to whom we run to, when (not if) trouble comes. Do we turn our backs on God and seek our own ways of dealing with that trouble, and end up with blood on our hands, or do we run to Him, who is trustworthy, loving and knows all? May 2024 be the year where you shift your focus, see God for who He really is, a loving, kind and protective Father, who wants you to bring ALL your troubles to Him, so that He may assist you. On our own, we are nothing, but with God, we are more than conquerors. May this year be the year where you overcome your fears and go for that which God has called you for, don't do it alone, but invite God to help you with it. He is interested in you.

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
