Access to divine secrets is a privilege of the believers. Whenever we don’t see this “sign” we need to do self-examination and cry out to God. Generally, believers are expected to conduct routine checks on themselves to determine where they stand in relation to God.

Revelation of deep things is a continuous and beneficial act of God. Whatever secrets that the Lord might choose to reveal now will not be any less potent in their effect than what we have recalled here.

Even if we are feeble individually, tremendous results can be achieved in concert. The little ant works as team and have security for the future. Those who cannot work with others cannot work far; neither can they build a lasting legacy.

We are often too eager to judge people without knowing the details of their lives. Meanness to people can make them worse off. So we need to be kind more often than not.

Our passage says a curse causeless shall be of no effect. If there is no “gap” in our lives all of Satan’s arrows are impotent. Several things can amount to a “gap” occasioning the weapons of the enemy to prove lethal. Sin is the principal avenue; it breaks down people’s defenses.

Virtually all who have been used of God down history to do mighty things had one infirmity or the other. Infirmity here refers to any form of feebleness of mind and body or any other limitation. How did these men and women wound up doing mighty things? It was because God compensated for their inadequacies.

However, we know according to scriptures that the day will eventually come when the war will truly be over. Jesus the Prince of Peace will announce the cessation of all armed conflicts among nations. It is then that our text will find literal fulfillment.

Being the Almighty with unlimited power and resources, it is within reason to say that He had all that was necessary to create everything in a single day; but He laid out His work over a period of time; achieving one bit at a time. By that He shows us the path to follow in our quest for achievement and greatness.

What is it about joy and rejoicing to warrant such repeated emphasis? It is because joy is a spiritual anti-depressant. Yesterday, we established that depression is not restricted to any particular socio-economic class; it is an all-pervasive problem, and statistics will prove this.

The moment we settle our eternal destiny in Christ, having much or little, being famous or not so famous will be of secondary importance. The days we live in are full of pressures; no one can truly bear up without constantly looking up to Jesus for supply of grace.
