Psalm 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. The nature of God had been revealed again and again through the time of old and a few whose hearts were focused on Him could enjoy His mercy and truth, one of them was David. Psalm 25:12  What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. Some at that time would have said, "I have kept the law that is enough". However it was them (their soul) that God sought for, that they may seek Him. The focus was to be on God and not ordinances: Psalm 25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. Thus David prophesied that the revelation of that great secret will be to those who feared the Lord: Psalm 25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. See how He began the Psalm: Psalm 25:1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. We must be...

Isaiah 12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. The awesome hymn written by a lawyer, William Cowper in 1768, comes to mind. 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord; 'tis thy Saviour, hear his word; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee, 'Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me? 2 'I delivered thee when bound, and, when wounded, healed thy wound; sought thee wandering, set thee right, turned thy darkness into light. It is the story of God reaching out to sinners by releasing His Word to become flesh that flesh can relate with Him and return to Him. Yes man was rejected by God because of sin, yet it was not man that God rejected but the sin in Him. So the sin had to be removed that we may return to Him. (technically man actually rejected God by disobedience!) Psalm 32:2 Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile. God cleans ...

Ecclesiastes 7:8(NLT) Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride. Planet earth keeps moving, thus everything in it is moving - "time". This is why at the beginning of a thing we could be so excited. However it will always come to an end. How long does our excitement last? The wisdom in all is that when the time for that season elapses, we ought to have become better and moved to a better place! For we ought to keep moving forward. Could we illustrate with our education system: We were excited when we began our primary education, however in five to six years we have to move away from that phase, we now begin to talk of our secondary education. This initiates a new excitement. In another six years this phase is also over. We move to another phase, a three to seven years in a higher institution, always starting with a period of excitement, then we see the work to be done in that phase. The phase continues, a year of national service. Then a new job, with it...

Psalm 23:1 The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. If not that man rebelled against God, we would not have had to contend with the difficulties of the flesh, for God said: Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. We should be reminded that the very nature of God is "Goodness" Luke 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God. Who declares this nature - Yeshua, Jesus the Christ. Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him]. Our Heavenly Father is the Father of light and in Him there is no shadow of turning: James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning....

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life. A happy new month to you. We are grateful for God's grace, mercies and favour that has kept us this far. Do understand that as you celebrate another season, the time ticks on. Selah! One limitation of (we) humans, is our tendency to forget. This is why the Lord instructed Joshua: Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Jesus said: Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Paul said by the Spirit: Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 2T...

1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Our body gives us the right to live on earth. It is the legitimate suit that enables man to live legitimately on earth. Once the body is dead, we are expected to leave the scene. Now it is this body that enables us to communicate with other bodies here on earth. However this body has been corrupted from the fall of man. Sin made the body corrupt and on the part way of decay. We should not forget that the body was mere dust till God put His breath into man. Then man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The fall of man was about man trying to live outside of God! (Genesis 3) However the foolishness of trying to live without God is shown in what the earth offers, summed up thus: 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love this world nor the thing...
