“I call on God, and the Lord saves me” (Psalm 55:16)
- This is the Psalmist’s testimony. It is followed by his call to
others to turn to the Lord and discover how good He is: “Turn your
burdens over to the Lord and He will take care of you” (Psalm 55:22). “I
praise the Word of God, I trust God, I am not afraid. What can mere
flesh and blood (mortals) do to me?” (Psalm 56:4,10-11). “My heart is
confident, O God, I want to sing and make music... I want to give thanks
to You among the people, O Lord, I want to make music to praise You
among the nations because Your mercy is as high as the heavens. Our
truth reaches the skies. May You be honoured above the heavens, O God.
Let Your glory extend over the whole earth” (Psalm 57:7,9-11). As we
praise God, He leads us forward in His triumph.
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
