Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.. Isaiah 33:6

It doesn’t matter what chaos is going on in the city, in the country or in the world; the Savior’s promise to build His Church was fulfilled. Thus, the gates of Hell will not prevail against it (Mt 16:18). Since the beginning of it, the devil has struggled to close its doors, because only in this way would he succeed in destroying humanity. However, Jesus definitely defeated the evil one!

The stability of the Church is guaranteed in the abundance of salvation, provided by Christ in His death and descent into the domain of Satan. There, Jesus dethroned him and took the keys of death and hell from him (Rev. 1.18). Knowing that nothing will hinder the progress of the divine work, we must not fear those sent from evil or tomorrow. After all, God will care for His people with care and love.

The Lord’s Church is also endowed with great wisdom, whose aim is to lead the lost to Jesus’ feet. In fact, we should not seek political conspiracy or other devices to conduct God’s work. He is the one who knows how to guide the steps of each member of His Body. Whatever we have to go through, we will face very well, guided by the Holy Spirit.

The house of God was also given all science, not human, which is the accumulation of knowledge, but divine. The Lord used it to create the laws out of nothing that allowed the existence of all things. If we let Him lead us, we will get to where He wants us to do His will. The Father truly loves us!

Adam’s sin robbed us of the best, but the Lord gives us an abundance of everything, even life (Jn 10.10b). As it happened to Job (who, in recognizing God’s sovereignty, was restored to what the devil had taken away from him), in the consummation of the centuries, we will receive twice what we lost as a result of what happened in Eden. God is Faithful!

The fear of the Lord is the way out to refuse Satan’s offerings, both openly and hidden. Respecting the commandments will be our wisdom and our knowledge. It is enough to fulfill them, for us to be given divine gifts. If we are from God, we will not fall into the tempter’s traps or lose even one of our Father’s promises!

Fix your attention on the fear of God, because that is your treasure. Never let the enemy steal the good you have been promised. In Christ, you will have the statements of the Most High fulfilled in your life. It is wonderful when His hand guides us wherever we go. The enemy cannot take our blessing!

In Christ, with love,
