Today’s Devotional – June 7th

.

.

.

.

It’s a Click-n-Lie World, Part 2, ‘The Remedy’

.

.

.

.

.

So Satan hasn’t gone to sleep, as some suppose! No, Satan has been very busy, working night and day!

.

And just what has he been up to?

.

Well, Satan has been very busy, setting this world up for Judgment Day. 

.

And though, none of us know exactly what’s in store in the coming days, there does seem to be a pattern, concerning just what this unseen one is orchestrating, seemingly behind the scenes.

HOW DO I ESCAPE?

.

And in yesterday’s devotional, it was discussed about the mountain of laws and other “situational land-mines” which are coming upon this land.

It kind of reminds one of all those millions of frogs which overran Egypt, back in the days of the Exodus!

.

So what can a Christian do? Just how can we escape this great plague which is just now beginning to fall upon us?

.

Well, of course, the Bible has all the answers.

.

So let’s take a brief look at what God’s Word has to say about all this.

EARTHLY PROTECTION OF NO VALUE

.

Listen… “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.” Proverbs 11:4

.Elisha & Chariots of Fire www.visualbiblealive.com

So this passage from Proverbs lays a very good foundation for how we are to escape all the various traps and temptations which the Evil One is laying to ensnare us. Yes, riches are worthless, when it comes to the evil day. It is Christ’s righteousness that will deliver us in that day. And along with that verse, this next passage sends out a similar message…

.

Listen… “There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.” Psalm 33:16-19.

.

So here again, God is trying to discourage us from trusting in the things of the world. And isn’t it true that all the various stories in both the Old and New Testaments all give us a certain message, over and over again: simply trusting in God to deliver us?

THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

.

Okay, so our foundational verse from Proverbs says, “but righteousness delivers from death.” But is there any passage which clarifies this concept?

.

Listen… “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,” Ephesians 6:11-13

.

And so, as this passage reveals, the armor of God is what every child of God needs to be wearing.

.

.

.

.

.

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WORD IS POWER

.

But just how do we put on a spiritual concept? How can spiritual armor protect us? Well, perhaps this next passage will help…

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-06831.jpg

Listen… “Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 24;3-6

.

So here is the key to understanding how to armor up: knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and many wise counselors!

“THY TESTIMONIES…ARE…MY COUNSELLORS”

.

But just who are these wise counselors?

.

soldiers of the cross - armor up!

Listen… “Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.” Psalm 119:24

.

So God’s testimonies found in His Word are the counselors that we need to guide us. 

.

And so, O Stranger and Pilgrim of the Cross, this little devotional is a good starting point to direct us to the right course we must take, if we desire to escape the coming trial which is looming just now upon the horizon.

.

And the very Good News is, if the Reader will diligently seek to become fully armored up, right now, prior to the coming storm, then God will honor all those who awaken to our great responsibility of readying ourselves for that Day!

TODAY’S PRAYER…

.

“Dear Lord, Lord, help me to put on the armor of God. Give me a love for the Bible which rises above all earthly considerations. Help me to hide Thy Word in my heart (my mind), that I may overcome the world, with all it traps and snares and temptations…

THREE-DIMENSIONAL APPEARANCE

.Orion Constellation and Dragon Constellation Eagle Ridge

When looking at a star-chart, the stars representing Orion’s feet appear as if his legs are short. But actually when you look at Orion in the night sky, Orion’s legs appear bent far backward, giving this constellation a three-dimensional effect. (Of course, many of the constellations on this website also have a three-dimensional appearance to them.)

.

This picture to the right just does not do justice to just how far back Orion’s legs appear to be bent backward.
