What is my focus as I live my life? What preoccupies me most? What drives me on a daily basis? Is it the quest for success? Is it my relationship with God? I trust easily and that gets me into trouble often. May I have the right focus and may the Lord protect me. May my enemies not triumph over me. May the Lord’s word concerning me come to pass. Psalm 69.

I woke up praising the Lord and glorifying Gis holy name despite my circumstances. I woke up with a song of praise in my heart. The Lord knows everything concerning me and He is my refuge. He will forgive me for my trespasses and deliver me from my enemies. He is the Lord most high. Psalm 69.

Romans 1:28-32 sums up the challenges humanity faces today. Greed and depravity of the mind as described here places a mirror in front of humans today. We can see that what was described by Paul about 2000 years ago is still happening today. Are you relieved that it is nothing new or are you saddened that we don’t seem to learn?

Our relationship with God is not based on a 50/50 ratio. He is the Almighty God, the Creator of the universe. But man decided to get wise and took the Creator for granted. Funny thing is what Paul castigated the Christians in Rome about is the same thing plaguing mankind today. Romans 1:21-27.

There is good reason for us to be worried about the consequences of ignoring the call of God and His love for us. Preachers of the word of God tirelessly share it so that all are aware of this great offer and love. Romans 1:18-20.

The gospel assures us of righteousness by faith. There is reason to be proud of it. Romans 1:17.

I’m asking myself what it means to be proud of the gospel of Jesus Christ. What does that entail? Romans 1:16.

So brethren, as mentioned in Malachi 3:16-18, let us talk with one another, because we serve Jehovah who listens. Let us honour His name. Let us agree to worship Him not only in song, but also by living a life that allows Him to have His way in us. May it please Him to spare us and distinguish us from the wicked.

Some may we feel aggrieved because they have tried serving God faithfully, yet they suffer while the wicked prosper or seem to prosper. Being servants of God comes with its own challenges. Malachi 3:13-15. But serving God diligently is worth it. Fearing or revering God has amazing benefits. May we not tire. Malachi 3:16-18.

Apart from spiritual leaders who are formally trained and appointed to serve the Lord, we are all priests by virtue of having spiritual dependants the Lord has placed under our care: our spouses, children, etc. We therefore ought to ask the Lord what He expects of us and depend on Him to help us carry out our responsibilities. May we not be like the priests mentioned in Malachi 2:1-9.
