Revelation 13 reveals the rise of worldly powers that act in opposition to God, receiving authority to deceive, dominate, and draw people into false worship. One power exalts itself openly, while another promotes deception, leading many to follow and conform, even enforcing allegiance. This emphasizes discernment and endurance, calling believers to remain faithful, recognizing that these powers are temporary and under God’s ultimate authority.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”
Romans 3:23-25 KJV

“Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.”

He Felt God Tugging on His Heart
A twelve-year-old boy was saved at a revival. Later, his friends questioned him about it. One said, “Did you see a vision?” Another said, “Did you hear God speak?” The boy answered all of these questions with a simple no.
“Well, how did you know you were saved?” they asked. The boy replied, “It’s like when you catch a fish, you can’t see the fish or hear the fish; you just feel him tugging on your line: I just felt God tugging on my heart.”
Romans 8:16 “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”

Use Your Anchor
The mighty Niagara River drops 180 feet at the American and Horseshoe Falls. Above the falls there are violent rapids. Before reaching the rapids, where boats are still able to navigate, there is a bridge for pedestrians. There is a sign mounted to this bridge that says: “Do you have an anchor? Do you know how to use it?”
A Christian must have and use faith to avoid spiritual shipwreck.

The Fear Of The LORD
The wise man is the one who develops a teachable spirit and is ready, willing, and anxious to learn. The fear of the Lord and reverence for His holy name is the foundation upon which each one of us should build our lives, for fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, the foundation of knowledge, and the gateway to truth. It is the key to spiritual insight and the singular requisite for godly instruction in righteousness.
For the believer, the fear of the Lord comes from a humble heart of worship which has a reverential respect, a holy fear, and a thankful heart for all that our Lord Jesus is and all that God has done for each of His children. For the unbeliever, a fear of the Lord should stem from the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. The unsaved man should fear the Lord because of sin, righteousness, and judgement, but instead: "The fool has said in His heart, 'there is no God.'" The fool despises godly wisdom and has a contempt for instruction in righteousness.
Today, we are flooded with worldly wisdom and swamped with knowledge and instruction from every section of humanity, but unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain to build it.
Unless our knowledge is founded on a reverential fear of the Lord, and unless our wisdom is established from on high, we run the risk of becoming wise in our own understanding, rather than fools for Christ.
How important to trust in the LORD with all our heart, to acknowledge Him in all our ways, and not to lean on our own understanding, for to do so demonstrates a prideful respect for self and not a reverential fear of the Lord.
Jesus is the foundation upon which our knowledge is founded, and He alone commands our reverential fear, humble worship, and eternal devotion, for in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and we are positioned in Him.
God bless you all.
