Each believer is like a bird who has become trapped in a net of sin. The fowler is the devil who has laid his trap and caught us in it; but God has rescued us and set us free.

Satan wants us to be a despairing believer distracted by the cares of life, but we must resist the devil’s lies and worship God with all our heart and mind. 

The flesh will always try to interfere with our worship or our prayer time. We are commanded to resist the flesh, and we must keep bringing Jesus back into focus. 

The book of Isaiah predicted that God would create a new pillar and cloud to cover his people. This means God’s last-days remnant people will have clear direction.

Believers should long for a revival where the presence of Jesus is overwhelmingly powerful. There, broken people will know that they have truly been covered by the glory of God.

Self-centered believers only come to Christ to have the reproach of their sins removed; true believers what intimacy with their bridegroom and desire to know his heart. 

How easily we forget that our heavenly father is our partner in our work, regardless of our career or calling. Indeed, nothing happens to us without his involvement. 

No matter how you have fallen or how many promises you’ve made and broken, God will always hear your cry and bring you back into close fellowship with him.

The Lord knows we have spoken words or done things that we cannot undo. We must cry out to him in our desperation. He wants to heal and provide supernatural grace.
