Psalms 119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
In David’s case, he most likely knew more Scriptures than me and you, for he wrote portions of the Bible. Knowledge is good, but knowledge without Christ’s power, will only render us informed victims. Let those who are preparing for what is coming, lay the groundwork for victory by spending quality time with God, the only source of our strength. Instead of wasting precious hours on things that are of little or no consequence, let us set aside time to seek Christ while we can for the days of earth’s final conflict are soon approaching.
During earth’s final crisis devils will open their entire arsenal upon the Christian, and tailormade devices, which had been previously put on the back burner, because of God’s restraining power, will now be let loose upon those who choose to be faithful. Many of us are not expecting this, and others have harbored the view that because they trust in Jesus, they will be insulated.
While God promises to take care of the righteous during that awful time, they will not be immune to tailormade temptations that will be leveled against the commandment keeping people of God. And for this reason, persons should manage their expectations prudently, to say the very least. Here’s a preview of what we are referring to.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
