Reading: Mark 13, 14
My Verse: "And Jesus began to tell them, Be careful and watchful that no one misleads you." (13:5)
I am thankful for godly men who have devoted themselves to studying, preaching and teaching Your Word, Lord. There are too many false teachers out there - charismatic gifted false teachers that successfully lead many astray, especially when it comes to end times!
I continually pray for discernment as I read Your Word, as I listen to various speakers and read books that expound on Your Word.
I am to be as the Bereans. "Now these [Jews] were better disposed and more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] with inclination of mind and eagerness, searching and examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." (Acts 17:11)
I know that if I am faithful - following the example of the Bereans - You will keep me on the right path to Your truths. For You tell me that Your truths "are spiritually discerned." (ICor. 2:14) And to those who belong to You, those who are indwelt with the Holy Spirit You reveal to us Your truth. "Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit." (ICor. 2:10)
This is so important - being alert - because You tell us often to be alert, be on guard.
"Be on your guard [constantly alert], and watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13:33) "Keep awake and watch and pray [constantly, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Mark 14:38) "Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God. . ." (Jude 21)
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
