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.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

God’s purpose

1 Kings 19:17&18 "17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." God shows Elijah his true impact and future plan. He commands Elijah to leave hiding and anoint three figures: Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha. These appointments signal judgment and renewal, as Hazael and Jehu will help overthrow the Omride dynasty, including Ahab and Jezebel. God provides not just succession but a plan to purge Baal worship. His work persists through new agents beyond Elijah. The passage stresses that God’s purpose depends on no single person; Elijah is not alone—7,000 in Israel remain faithful to God, unbowed to Baal. This remnant upholds God’s covenant amid apostasy. Elijah’s story teaches: our isolation and despair are illusions. Focus on God’s greater,...
