Matthew 24:9

Good morning this fine Saturday morn. May the Lord bless us with enough this day. "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."


I had a brief conversation with one of my fb friends yesterday about our powers over the Devil. I am contented that we have none, and there is nothing that we can do to either control him or put fear into him. He is in revolt against God Almighty Himself, and if he is not afraid of God what can any of us do to put fear into him? 

This is what Jesus said to us in Matthew 24:9, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." Our faith in Jesus will not save us from persecution, rather it will cause it.
