And he shall speak great words against the most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
and think to change times and laws:
and they shall be given into his hand
until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25
Are we there yet?
Maybe not, but we are vexed with all the evil
It’s getting harder to stand
Harder to keep the focus
it is taking more time with Jesus to remain in communion with Him
Less time in the world
The flesh is fighting
Darkness is covering
Staying on the narrow road is difficult
Failing and falling and getting back up and moving on
Concentrating on Jesus takes more effort
His ways are being questioned by the world
More deception is here
Avoiding it is not always possible
Get back on track as soon as He reveals the truth
Keep praying for discernment and wisdom
Continue to fear God and not man
And He changeth the times and the seasons:
He removeth kings, and setteth up kings:
He giveth wisdom unto the wise,
and knowledge to them that know understanding: Daniel 2:21
Keep reading His word, keep memorizing
Keep loving the truth in spite of all you see
Do all the things you know to remain strong in Jesus
Never wavering, holding onto your crown of righteousness
Seek His face with all your heart
Ask Jesus how much time you should spend with Him: reading, praying, fasting
Keep your focus
Do not look to the right or the left
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil. Proverbs 4:27
Do not get distracted
Persevere
March toward that upward call
Use your talents, enjoy your talents, enjoy what Jesus has given you to do
The joy of the Lord is your strength
You are still important
You matter in this world, despite what the circumstances may tell you
You were born in this time for a reason
Continue on in the Lord, do not let the enemy’s lies hold you back
Do what the Lord asks of you
Knowing that He has gone before you to prepare the way
and that He is your rearguard
He’s got your back
