Title: He is nearby!

‭Psalm‬ ‭145:18‬ ‭KJV‬
[18] The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.145.18.KJV
Devotion: This Psalm is a worship song and extols God for his goodness, kindness and love. The psalmist told us how good God is especially to those who give their lives to him and fear Him. He went on to say in  verses 8-9 that "The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works."
 In several other verses the great God was described as God who cares for all. Verses 14-16   said "The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing."
 But while the Lord will do all of above for those who fear him and stay nearby them that call upon him in truth, the wicked will God destroy.
 Who are the wicked? The wicked are the people who heard the good News of Christ and yet continue in their wicked ways. Such people did not give their lives to Christ and continue to persecuted those who follow Christ. 
 Dear reader, I invite you to give your life to Christ today, He's expectantly waiting for you, He says in Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." He is at the door, he wants you to open the door of your heart so that He will fill it with joy, happiness, love and kindness. He wants to give you His spirit. Amen.
 Kindly share your view with us here and share this with your neighbours and family members. Hallelujah.

Everyone is calling on God but there is a way to do it, Jesus Christ is that way. Many religious folks claim they have the truth to God but Jesus Christ is the truth. 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 ...
