Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.

The Lord bestows Grace and Favour and Honour

The Bible confirms, in Ps 84:11 that The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. In other words, No good thing does YHWH withhold from those who walk uprightly, with integrity and blameless. This is the experience of David and multiple millions of the believers who have been witnessing the Faithfulness of the Lord among us. 

As we are concluding 2024 in few days, Let us take a stock of the things that the ADONAI Graciously showered upon us, His miracles, guidance, favour, strength, care, love, protection, provision, promises, prophecies and faithfulness. In Luke 10, Mary seated herself at the LORD's feat, to continually listen to HIS teaching, heard HIS Word to what the Master taught and absorbing every revelation HE shared. 

Instead of embracing Martha's footprints, by blaming, comparing, complaining, getting distracted, keeping ourselves very busy with numerous chores, preparing what we planned for and interrupting JESUS, telling HIM what to do/ how to do certain things, Let us TRUST HIM in 2025 as believers by letting HIM to do HIS Things in our lives in HIS timings to bring Glory to HIS Name. Amen. Hallelujah. 

HE knows us well and what we are going through in the life journey. All our hairs have been numbered (not just counted), every good things are at HIS reserve, HE knows our needs, Our Heavenly Father knows how to give good things to those who ASKs Him, it absolutely cost nothing to us and it's free to us. HE is simply asking us to TRUST HIM. Our God is able to make all Grace abound to us, so that in all things, at all times, having all that we need, we will abound in every good work (2 Cor 9:8). From HIS fullness we received GRACE upon GRACE from HIM (Jn 1:16) in the past, we will continue to receive them now and in future. It's our birth right in HIM!

Are we distracted by the big/worldly things that we were preparing/aiming for, worried, bothered and anxious about so many things? JESUS advised Martha to choose the good part, necessary part, better part, needful part and challenged her to discover good things. Do not fussing far too much is the warning to many of us as we enter into 2025. 

CEV of Ps 55:22 narrates a prayer like this...

LORD, we belong to YOU, we tell YOU what worries us, YOU will not let us fail, fall or slip. Amen. Let us commit our ways to the LORD (Ps 37:5). As David said in Ps 55:23, Let us also declare that as for me, I TRUST in YOU.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honour in 2025 and beyond; no good thing does HE withhold from those whose walk is blameless, In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Happy New Year 2025, in advance.

Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Have a Blessed weekend!!! 

In His Grip..

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
