Title: Blessed Hope.

-
Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. Micah 7:7 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mic.7.7.KJV
Devotion: Waiting for a person can be futile, it can end up in vein. But waiting on the Lord is rewarding. 
The time of prophet Micah was a time when Israel was desolate and each person did what he or she liked. Idol worship was rampant, there was misery, there were killings and wars and people lost faith in God. Prophet Micah stood his ground and waited on the God of his salvation because he believed that the Messiah will come. 
 The Messiah Jesus Christ came and delivered you and me from our sinful life and gave us hope of glory on earth and in eternity. He gave us Holy Spirit to guide us unto life in Christ so it is left for you and me to grab this opportunity to live and not die. 
The world today is not different from the time Micah lived, the powerful oppress the weak, there's no love, idolatry is everywhere, self interest predominate and there are wars all over. It is time to turn to Jesus and declare just like Micah, and say "I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me." 
 Dear reader, this is the message today "return to Jesus, He is anxiously waiting for you to save you and give you a new life." (Revelation 3:20). This is my hope and I wish it is your hope too because any other hope in man or idol is futile. Be blessed in Jesus name. Soon you'll have testimonies to share with us here.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6" Devotion : There are three main keys: way, truth, and life.

Many think life is all about the natural life but Jesus is the life beyond this present world. Choose Jesus and you would have these three most priceless keys in life.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
