The Way of the Lord Is a Refuge for the Blameless
To the child of God, your protection is walking in the way of the Lord. In other words, living by divine direction is for your safety.

The Word says the fear of the Lord adds length to life. But is it just about living longer? No! It’s also about living a life of relevance, purpose and impact on generations in the wisdom of God.
God is One but multifaceted in functionality. He does many things at the same time. That’s why He didn’t add a third word to the ‘I Am’ identity He revealed to Moses.
God wants us to be more concerned with reaching the world through kingdom service. Then, He’ll take responsibility to bring us those things people work for without our struggle by His grace.
Weeping time is only when God’s presence seems missing in your life – where you have every reason to question God because things aren’t really working out as you want them to. But there’s good news: it has an expiry date. And that date isn’t in years, months or days. It’s when you discover God’s reason for doing things in His presence.
Faith isn’t a confident expectation that God will do something He said He’d do today in the future. That is trusting God to fulfil a vision He has shown you, and it requires your firm stance in the Word, hope and patience. But for faith, it’s taking God at His Word no matter the situations that speak against it.
Having been to countless church services in many places, I’ve seen people open their eyes to pray, and some opt to close their eyes to pray. But the question is, “As children of God, should we necessarily close our eyes when praying?” You may say “yes,” and another person reading this now may say “no.” None of them is wrong because there’s no particular Bible verse that condemns closing or opening the eyes during prayer.
Life isn’t for experimentation. It’s supposed to be lived on purpose with intentionality, and only God can give you that privilege. Instead of comparing yourself with others for what they do, approach God to show you what you’re called to do. It’ll settle every insecurity about your eternal ordination in Christ.
Many people want to live a loose life, exploring several things just for fun. But eternal life isn’t about that. It’s about purpose. And where purpose is, discipline is also present. Submit yourself to God’s leadership, and you’ll experience the tangible manifestations of the purpose-driven life in Christ Jesus.
We live in an evil age, so tribulations abound. But Jesus has overcome the world. And once He lives in us (2 Corinthians 13:5), we’re also overcomers of the world. Our lives are different because of Christ in us.
It’s not God’s will to rise up early and sit up late in the night, all in the name of making money. Yes, there’s a dimension in grace to enable you to work beyond human strength. But that doesn’t replace the divine peace Jesus has left you with (John 14:27). He gives His beloved sleep!
Faith and patience work together. If you have faith that God will do what He said, pray and be patient unto Him to fulfil the vision. It’ll take time, but it’ll get accomplished. Fret not!
