“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7 KJV). Pilots are required to stay current with their flying because piloting an aircraft is a perishable skill. Old age destroys the connections of our memory. Wisdom is ingrained in our understanding. Unlike even the muscle memory of repetitive actions, wisdom is more deeply encoded in our understanding of reality. “If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy” (Psalm 137:6 KJV). May our understanding of the Almighty be our wisdom.

The Physics of Aging
Evolution claims aging is a feature not a flaw, while some scientists counter, aging is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics. No one escapes dying regardless of wealth. “Nanoscale thermal physics guarantees our decline, no matter how many diseases we cure,” according to Dr. Peter Hoffmann, Director of Nanomechanics Laboratory, Wayne State University. “Aging itself can’t be a disease — diseases have causes, and are not universal. Aging is universal to all living things, and its only cause is time,” observes Hoffman. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27 KJV), saith the Creator.
Majority of One
Hezekiah encouraged his people against the massive onslaught of Sennacherib. Good advice for overcoming our own overwhelming circumstances. “Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah” (2Chronicles 32:7-8 KJV).
People That Delight In War
“People that delight in war” (Psalm 68:30 KJV), JAH opposes, for they lust, fight, war, and have not because they ask not. Neither do they defend the needy, nor do they deliver the helpless.
Enemy Shall Come In Like A Flood
“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him” (Isaiah 59:19 KJV). This is a promise of the LORD’s clear, unrelenting, and overpowering response to any action of the enemy, which is presently or about to inundate us; but, on the sole condition, we cry out to Yahweh with absolute certainty that He alone can and will prevent or neutralize the opposition to our advantage.
Insanity of Evil
The moral insanity of the unconverted heart is well documented in Scripture. “This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead” (Ecclesiastes 9:3 KJV). Like Saul of Tarsus raging against Christianity, only a supernatural encounter with the Resurrected Christ can change them. LORD, raise up your Spirit filled deacon Stephens and Ananiases to direct their Sauls to You. Amen.
Just Another God
If I told you that Jesus was just another god, you should be rightly offended. If respected scientists, government officials, or even religious leaders announced Jesus was simply a well received alien (as in UFOs, UAPs), you would be justifiably angry. You know what you know. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6 KJV). In the innermost sanctum of our soul, we cling to the truth we live by. “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day” (2Timothy 1:12 KJV). Amen and amen.
Man’s Inhumanity to Man
The vileness of man’s inhumanity to man, why would a Good God allow it? Without the ability to choose good or evil, we could not reflect or image back to the Creator His praise. “Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee: the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain” (Psalm 76:10 KJV).
Good News
Disciples must talk about bad news in order to bring up the good news of the gospel. The world does not always want to listen, and even fellow disciples may weary as well. “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11 KJV). Christian, your greatest advertisement for Christ is the blessed, happy life you live for the LORD, in the meantime. “Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14 KJV).
Fragile, Vulnerable, Yet Durable
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:22 KJV). Dennis Quaid’s documentary, Grid Down, Power Up (2022), explains the “risk and consequences of the US power grid going down, leaving the nation without electricity for an extended period of time. It is explained how we became this vulnerable, and how we can resolve it going forward.” “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28 KJV). Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
