God lead us

Psalm 143:10
"Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness."

This week, we explored how God’s plan prevails despite human failures, focusing on King David, a man after God’s own heart. Despite his faith and accomplishments, David fell into adultery and murder, blind to his sins until confronted by the prophet Nathan. Through a story of a rich man stealing a poor man’s lamb, Nathan revealed David’s guilt, declaring, “You are the man!” This accusation called David to repentance, underscoring that no one, not even a king, is above God’s judgment.

This serves as a warning to guard against blindness to our own sins, urging believers to align with God’s will. In Psalm 143:10, David pleads for God to teach him His will, acknowledging God’s sovereignty and goodness. He affirms, “Your Spirit is good,” trusting the Holy Spirit’s guidance to lead him to “the land of uprightness”—a metaphor for a life of moral integrity and spiritual stability, free from stumbling.

This verse highlights the need for humility and reliance on God. True obedience is joyful conformity to God’s will, enabled by the Holy Spirit, reflecting a universal longing for wisdom and direction in times of trouble.
Amen.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...
