Plots

B. A. Manakala

But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin. They will go down into the depths of the earth (Ps 63:9 nlt).

On 8th August 2020 National Investigation Agency received an email with a threat to kill the Prime Minister. This may be a regular pattern to receive such threats. Despite such threats the functions of the offices continue normally with necessary security measures.

David is sure that those who plot against him will be destroyed (Ps 63:9-10). This assurance is necessary for us to move forward in life.

Satan continually plots against children of God. But we are to continue to be focused on God and achieve the goals. We are to put on the whole armour of God and proceed (Eph. 6:13).

What would you do to get rid of the fear of the schemes of Satan?

Invest your resources for Kingdom work; do not waste them to plot against your enemy!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to be focused on you and not on the plots of my enemy. Amen

How long will he forgive?

Terror will grip them, terror like they have never known before. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them. Ps 53:5 I bought a pet dog. Despite my long attempts to train it well, it continues to remain harmful for all the visitors! I am hopeless about it now. What would you suggest that I do with the pet? God created you and me with a wonderful purpose (Jer. 29:11). What if we continue to ignore his ways and go our way? God forgives and wants to give eternal life to everyone in the world (Jn. 3:16). When wickedness reached its peak God dealt with it very seriously once by the flood (Gen. 7). He has promised he will never destroy the earth with flood again (Gen. 9:15). Why don’t we turn to Him? Repentance is the only way to get away from God’s anger! Prayer : Lord, help me live my life each day recognising the purpose with which you created me. Amen

Slippery sliding cliff!

Image
B. A. Manakala Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction. (Ps 73:18 nlt) I was walking down a snowy slippery mountain with a heavy backpack. Suddenly I slipped and began to slide down. It was a thrilling experience for me. Though I was quite anxious in between, finally I landed in snow safely. Some of our experiences on sliding cliffs on earth may be thrilling for the moment. But not all of them would end in a safe place. When we are on slippery grounds God is faithful to provide us with a way out (1 Cor 10:13); but if we deliberately choose to miss the way out and continue on, the end may be destruction (Ps 73:18)! God would provide a way out only to those who desire for it; for those who want to carry on in their way of wickedness God would only let them move on in their slippery path, and slide over the cliff (Ps 73:18)! How would I stand on the solid Rock and help those who are on the slippery ground? Only those who stand on a solid ...

Who is truly wise?

Image
B. A. Manakala God looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. Ps 53:2 I get around many of my problems through Google-search. The more complex the issue is, the harder it is to solve. Sometimes, I end up making a mess, though Google handles about 20 petabytes of data. Man is created as a social being (Gen. 2:18). He needs to share, learn and trust, for his survival. Adam couldn ’ t survive without Eve. We need God as well as other people. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight (Is. 5:21). One who constantly seeks God is truly wise (Ps. 53:2)   Prayer: Lord, teach me to seek you all the days of my life. Amen
