In
Psalms 36 and 37, we see the conflict between the righteous and the
wicked, the godly and the ungodly. By drawing this radical contrast
between these two types of people, God’s Word calls us to make our
choice. What kind of people will we be? How will we live? There is no
more important than the question of character. Will our lives be shaped
by the character of God? or Will thy be shaped by a very different
character - Satan, the evil one?
"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.
