Building up Holy Faith<\/p>\n\n\n
Psalm 84:12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.<\/p>\n\n\n
Brothers and sisters, let me take this opportunity to wish you a very happy new year! At the close of one year and the beginning of another, it is customary for many to make resolutions, do away with old habbits and a number of other things. In today’s reflection, I would like to draw your attention to a rather significant time in History.<\/p>\n\n\n
Our watchword, is the summation of Psalm 84. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. This particular Psalm is thought to have been sung while the people worked in the winepress (where juice is extracted from grapes to make wine).<\/p>\n\n\n
The book of Numbers tells us about a time where in the sons of Korah were buried alive because of their disobedience, however their lives were spared. We then see them very prominent in the Psalms as a people no longer disobedient or hungry for power but a people on a mission to offer praise and worship to God.<\/p>\n\n\n
Friends, perhaps you too have felt, like the sons of Korah, incapable of making sense of or understanding the things that have been happening. Perhaps you’ve felt as if you were being buried alive by your circumstances. And although 2020 is now referred to in the past, for many, everything that happened cannot so soon be considered a distant memory.<\/p>\n\n\n
The fact that any of us are alive, is testament enough of God’s sovereignty. It is God who still keeps, saves and satisfies. Indeed all praise belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because of His grace why the psalmists could write and sing songs of joy and praise even in the worse periods of their lives. That grace still abounds today and remains sufficient for each of us. O that we may begin to chant psalms and sing hymns in and out of distress!<\/p>\n\n\n
Times are hard and are ever changing, but God remains constant. He has never and will never change. An excerpt from the letter written to each believer Jude 1:20
‘but you, dear friends, keep building on the foundation of your most holy faith, as the Holy Spirit helps you to pray.<\/p>\n\n\n
The walk of Faith is not for those who sleep and are not sober, each believer has been called to walk by faith and not by sight, faint not believers, put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand the wiles of the devil.<\/p>\n\n\n
Amen<\/p>\n\n\n
