FROM THE KEYBOARD

It is incompatible to know that God bought you, while still living as if sin owns you. Mind you, in Christ, "you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (I Corinthians 6:20).

The only way the decree of death can be avoided is if the decree of life null and voids it. In other words, the wages of sin is death and ALL are under such a decree. However, the Son paid the price with His life and it's this decree that sets one free. (See Romans 6:23 and Colossians 2:13-14)

A throne established in righteousness is not about "right or left" but right or wrong. You see, a nation will rise or fall based on whether or not it follows God's law. "Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness" (Proverbs 25:5).

God honors those who honor Him. And the honor of God isn't always promotion, but it's always preservation. So whether lifted up higher when hired or even when wrongly fired, the honor of God always keeps us through every trial. "For those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed" (I Samuel 2:30b).

Since the enemy is belligerent in bringing wrong to right, we need to remain vigilant in bringing right to wrong. Thus, we do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. (See Micah 6:8)

The echo of evil may resound on earth, but the gates of Hades will not prevail against the Church. In other words, this present evil may overwhelm but it will not overcome. Thus, "do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21).
