God is calling us
to live as "righteous people" (Psalm 58:10-11). When we face hostile
persecution, our only hope is in the Lord: “God is my Stronghold, my
merciful God” (Psalm 59:9,17). Looking to the Lord, we pray, “Give us
help against the enemy because human assistance is worthless” (Psalm
60:11). Trusting in the Lord, we have this confidence: “With God, we
will display great strength. He will trample our enemies” (Psalm 60:12).
Knowing that god is with us as the God of our salvation, we can say,
with glad assurance of faith, “I will triumph!” (Psalm 60:6). We are
“more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Whatever
Satan does, he will not succeed. We have the victory in Christ.
"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.
