“And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven” (Revelation 13:6).

The Lord is God and no one else will ever have His power or authority.  But there are those who will say they do.  The Lord is put into a sealed box and the prideful come out and act as if they had the power of the Lord.  There are those who hate the Lord. and they also hate those who follow the Lord.  They blaspheme with their arrogance and live as though no one else mattered.

Do not get caught up in the hatreds of this world.  So many act with spite and then look at those who love as if they were crazy.  In a sinful world, up is down and left is right.  Seek the Lord while He may be found and ask Him to give you a clear mind, eyes to see what is real and ears to hear the truth.  Do not fall for the tricks of the devil.  Do not get caught up in the blasphemy of this age.

Lord, I do not understand this world, but I do have hope in You and the promises You have given me.  Guide me, dear Lord, in the way of truth so that I may now and always look to You for guidance.  Do not let me be caught up with those who blaspheme, but instead, live in harmony with You and others.  Guide me in truth, dear Lord.  You are truth and You have come to lead me into all truth.  Lead me, Lord Jesus.  Amen.
