My Refuge

By -
Isaiah 25:4,5, ‘You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall and like the heat of the desert.’ Lord when I am in distress, I will always run to you for shelter. I will hide myself in thee from the distress of this world. Hide me and give me respite from the ceaseless scorching heat of hate from my enemies. Be a barrier in my life to the storm of strife brought to my door step by those that wish harm upon me. Even though they are numerous, I will not fear, I will remain calm because I know that my refuge is secure. In the Lord will I always place my trust and hope.

Giving Praise to God

By -
we need to take time and be thankful to the Lord for all the things he has done in our life, the blessings he has poured on us, the afflictions he has prevented us from suffering, the courage he has given us to face difficult times, the solace he gave us when we were sorrowful, and the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Our God is a compassionate and gracious God and we need to rejoice and be glad in it. We should honor God with songs of praise for even the angels honor him with song in heaven. It is good that in most churches before they start the service, they honor God with songs of praise and worship. These songs not only honor God but uplift us, they give us hope, they empower us and remind us of our loving Father, Our Saviour, Our redeemer, Our comforter. David put it best in Psalms 103:1-5, ´Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins, and heals all your di...

Focus on the Promise and the Promise Giver

By -
Numbers 13: 27,’28 ‘They told Moses, we came to the land to which you sent us; surely it flows with milk and honey. This is its fruit. But the people who dwell there are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; moreover, there we saw the sons of Anak [of great stature and courage]. God had promised Abraham to give His descendants the land of Canaan as their inheritance. Over 400 years later, the descendants had been redeemed from Egypt by their God and were now at the brink of entering their promised land. In conformity to the disbelieving nature of man, they sent out spies to inspect and confirm if indeed the promise was true. They selected 10 men, one from each tribe of Israel, to go to spy on the land out of which two report were given. In the first report, all the ten confirmed that indeed the land was flowing with milk and honey as promised by the LORD. They even had evidence of fruit and produce from the land. The second report was given by 8 of the 10 spies who s...

How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-14, 3  When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4  What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? 5  For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6  You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all   things   under his feet, 7  All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field, 8  The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. 9  O   Lord , our Lord, How excellent   is   Your name in all the earth! The God that created the universe, created you too and He loves and cares for you dearly. Due to the lies of the Deceiver, Satan, man lost the glory that God had crowned upon him and the dominion given to him on earth. But God in His great love and mercy upon...
