In Psalms 38-40, we have the
Psalmist’s prayer and his testimony that God had heard and answered his
prayer. “Do not abandon me, O Lord. O my God, do not be so distant from
me. Come quickly to help me, O Lord, my Saviour... Listen to my prayer, O
Lord. Open Your ear to my cry for help... I waited patiently for the
Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry for help. He pulled me out of a
horrible pit, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock and made
my steps secure” (Psalm 38:21-22; Psalm 39:12; Psalm 40:1-2).
"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.
