Worship to the Lord our God is a theme that continues through all Scripture. Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power.

The Bible is filled with God’s promises to provide rest when we seek Him. God is an endless source of peace and strength. Exodus 33:14 The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your Heart.
For some encouragement today have a read of 2 Kings 6,8-23 where something amazing took place. The same Lord is with us today. Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash and Scott Cash wrote a powerful song titled “Whom Shall I Fear” – with the alternate subtitle “God of Angel Armies”

Whatever our circumstances we look to the Lord for our daily needs and here is an encouragement for us all “From Jesus” in Luke 11:9-10 where he says “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you...
