27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:27-28 God tells us what to do in challenging times. We must not live in fear but rather, ‘look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near’. As days become more terrible, the faith of the believer should become stronger. Isaiah 60 says ‘2for, behold, the darkness shall......

When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. Luke 3:21 NKJV Prayer is the gateway to peace in life. In this scripture, the bible says “the Heaven open upon Jesus as He prayed!” If you would cultivate the habit of starting your day in prayer – however way you know to – heaven will perpetually be open unto you and you will receive direction from the Lord and the required wisdom to tackle the issues that face......

‘When I get really afraid I come to you in trust’ Ps. 56:3 MSG Life is full of challenges and we are often faced with many uncertain circumstances. To say that we do not sometimes, or even often, get confronted with fearful situations would not be completely correct. Whoever you are; however rich you are, whatever age you are, as long as you are still in this world, the chances are high that you have and will still face some circumstances that will really make you afraid. The good news is that......

 ‘The fear of man brings a snare: but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe’  Pr. 29:25 NKJV I like this scripture in the Good News Bible, ‘It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe’.

The Lord is my Shepherd , I shall not lack.  He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.  Ps. 23:1-2 AMP Psalm 23 is a very interesting and rich poem of David.

David recounted to King Saul how God helped him to protect the sheep while he fought and......

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land’. Jonah 2:9-10 You would remember from yesterday’s devotionals that ‘Jonah looked again’ unto the Lord in prayer. He described his situation as one being in hell! Yet he could summon courage and hope to cry unto God, and he obtained mercy and found grace. I noticed however in verse 9 that his......
