I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your regulations.

Psalm 119:30 NLT Bible

Following God involves being faithful to Him. If we truly love Him, we will want to be faithful to Him and adhere to His laws and principles. It's never easy because temptations lurk in every corner and we can easily be lured into wrongdoing. Sometimes, we may even wander off course, but the key is getting right back on track. If we want to remain faithful, we must spend time in prayer and in the Word of God. It's the only way to remain steadfast and rooted in our faith.

Faithfulness is critical to any relationship, but most of all in our relationship with Almighty God. There are many who've experienced broken relationships because they chose to be unfaithful. We cannot put our relationship with God at risk. We must purpose in our hearts to be faithful and obedient to God. It involves diligence, perseverance and endurance and we can never give up or turn back from being faithful to God. When we do this, we are assured of long life, success and blessings too numerous to mention. Faithfulness spills over into all our personal relationships. One of the best decisions we can make is to be faithful and loyal to God.

Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness. I have chosen to follow and obey you, to be obedient to Your laws and precepts. Help me to never give in to temptation, but to stay steadfast and rooted in you. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!

For His mercy endures forever:

4. To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
5. To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
6. To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
7. To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
8. The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
9. The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 NKJV

Lord, I believe! In these times when many fears and anxieties distract and overwhelm us, I choose to stand firm in my faith. Even when circumstances seem uncertain, I trust that in Your perfect timing, You will bring comfort and strength to those who need it most. I pray Lord, that You will grant hope to all who are in distress.  I love you, Jesus. Amen!

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.

1 Corinthians 10:12 NLT

Lord, I thank You for giving me another day to honour You! Even when I encounter challenging circumstances, I am confident that You are supporting me. In every situation, You provide a way for me to overcome and experience victory. You are my Lord! I love you, Jesus. Amen!

which You have shown from long ages past.

Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.

Remember me in the light of Your unfailing love, for You are merciful, O LORD.

Thank You, Lord for remembering me! Every step that I take, I can feel Your presence close to me. You are my Saviour and Redeemer! I love you, Jesus. Amen!

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation.

Heavenly Father, You sent Your Son, Jesus to be my advocate. Let me faithfully defend the truth of Your Word. May I live each day in victory. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

Ephesians 4:3 NLT Bible

It's not always easy. Sometimes it's very difficult for unity and peace to prevail, but as followers of Jesus Christ, we should make every effort to be united and at peace with each other. We are unique individuals, with our own peculiarities, ideas, views and temperament, and discord can easily set in when all these differences collide. What we need to be cognizant of is the fact that as believers, we are unified in our faith and belief in Almighty God.

As much as possible, we should try to never allow our relationships to disintegrate because of disunity and discord. We may have to walk away from potentially volatile situations, be open to another's viewpoint, exercise patience, self-control, sensitivity, forgiveness, compassion, mercy and above all, allow our love for God and each other to guide us. It's the only way for unity and peace to reign.

Thank you, Lord, for Your perfect peace. Help me to make every effort to have unity and peace present in all my relationships. Let me be sensitive to the feelings and views of others. I love you, Jesus. Amen! 

Be Blessed!

Philippians 2:5:11 NKJV

5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

6. Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

7. But made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

8. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

9. Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name, which is above every name,

10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Oh, how I love Your law! I meditate on it all day long.

Psalm 119:97 NIV Bible

The Word of God should be our constant companion. Sadly, for many of us, it's been replaced by our mobile phones and other social media sources. We are never too busy to watch our favourite shows or to stay connected to social media. Most of us check our mobile phones regularly throughout the day, then it's the last thing we do before going to bed and first thing again in the morning, but we find ourselves too busy to spend time with God and meditate on His Word. The Bible is our guide and road map for living holy, pleasing and acceptable lives and we can't let anything sidetrack us from spending time in the Word. God speaks to us through His Word and if we truly love Him, we want to please Him and to do that, we must study His laws and precepts. 

If we are guilty of being too absorbed in our own pursuits and have no time to spend in the Word of God, we need to rearrange our priorities. Fellowship with God should take precedence over everything else. Instead of constantly reaching for our mobile phones, we should grab our Bibles and let God speak to us. We may also need to turn off our television sets and study His Word. Loving God means giving the best of ourselves to Him, doing the things that would bring honour to Him and one way to do this is to saturate our hearts and minds with the truths found in His Word.

Thank you, Lord, for Your Word! Forgive me for being too busy and self absorbed in my own activities and neglecting to meditate on Your Word. I purpose to make fellowship with You and reading Your Word a priority. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!

Isaiah 58:6-9 NKJV

6. Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7. Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8. Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;

You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.
