Hail From The Trenches!

"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."-Matthew 20:16

Do NOT let the lures and baubles and sprinkles and glitter . . . and all the fancy noise of "social media" (the world/2022) ESPECIALLY NOW, where there is a great (evil) spirit stalking the lands, inveigl to draw you into envy, greed, quick riches, quick fame, quick ease. . . .

While the torturer is tightening the screws unto your daily being and mortal life--harder, tighter, more perfidious, insidious, and spiritually enervating . . . 

AND MEANWHILE (the evil one) holds out shining gold, quick bits, "security", lording-over-others potential opportunities--oh, any number of seductions, distractions . . . slinky . . . sneaky . . . leading the foolish and self-loving down, down, down . . . .

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God . . . the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God." --Romans 8:18-21

HOLD ON!  

We are in the maelstrom, amidst the literal, in time, battle of Good vs. evil. . . . 

Persevere! Cleave to the calling of holiness!
