Though the wicked seek to knock out the righteous, the righteous always rise up in victory. Keep Getting Up Again.

God's people and prepare to fight the good fight of faith because they know it is God Who will fight for them. Be Prepared to Fight the Good Fight, and Often Your Enemies' Fearful Threats will Fizzle. Because Our God Shall Fight for Us.

God's people are to only eat in a manner that is not an abomination to Him but rather His glorification. Eat and Drink to God's Holy Glory.

When aggravated anger of God's enemies toward the work of His people with a real threat of attack that can cause the Church to emotional exhaustion and possibly interrupt the work, God's leaders must prepare His people with prayer, a plan of defense, and motivational preaching that can stop the threat and keep the people going. Be Prepared to Fight the Good Fight, and Often Your Enemies' Fearful Threats will Fizzle.

God's separated people who have the certainty of eternal life in Christ and the resurrection should not grieve the death of their loved ones in the Lord like the world but distinctively show their holy hope in heaven. Don't Grieve Your Deceased Brethren with a Worldly Lack of Hope in Heaven.

The response of God's leaders to growing reproach by God's enemies should be increasing in prayer for God to intervene so that God's people respond in continuing to make progress building Christ's church. When Oppressed, Keep Praying and Making Progress.

God's call on His people to live a clean, holy, separate, sanctified life that honors His name is because of who they are as He has made them in Himself and their own identity and reputation in Christ. As God's Blessed People Be Blessed.

While some live longer, we all only have very little time on this earth that is full of sorrowful living. Your Days on this Earth Are Numbered.
