Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 31

Never Give Up! Never! Never…
.
.
.
.
A great statesman during World War II made a famous speech before a 
young audience in which he encouraged them to “Never give in!”.
.
Well, as time passed, commentators exaggerated this speech to the point that his words, “Never give in!”, became morphed into, “Never give UP!”
.
But also, it further became embellished to the point that his speech was nothing more than him pounding his fists on the podium, and exclaiming over and over again, “Never give up! Never, never, never, never…!”

SOMETIMES THE MYTH….
.
Well, in a way, it’s too bad this fable is false! That truly would have been a great way to make a big point!
.
And it’s too bad this statesman wasn’t a pastor, giving the speech to an audience of weary Christian pilgrims in these last days!

TROUBLOUS TIMES AHEAD!
.
Yes, considering the days which are just now beginning to come upon us, these are the very words we need to hear!
.
Because, we can rest assured that the Enemy of Souls is going to try his very best to get each and every one of us to give up!
.
Yes, and by every possible means, he will attempt to get us to give up, or give in to our worldly desires!
.
And to that, the words must be resounded…”Never give up! Never, never, never, never…!”

DISCOURAGEMENT
.
And he will attempt to make us think that our case is hopeless!
.
“It’s too late for you”, the Devil will tell us, “You might as well forget about your Salvation!”
.
And to that, the encouraging words must be resounded…”Never give up! Never, never, never, never…!”

CITY OF MORALITY
.
And he will work through friends and even family members to call us back into the “City of Morality”, this seemingly moral society. “Are you crazy?”, they will say, “You don’t need to be so hard on yourself! Just relax and enjoy life!”
.
And to that, the encouraging words must be resounded…”Never give up! Never, never, never, never…!”

DON’T GIVE UP!
.
Yes, Satan will come in seemingly countless ways to attempt to t
urn each Christian back from our heavenward Exodus out of this doomed planet.
.
But we must never let anyone, or any thing turn us away from our, “Good Fight”, to win the battle over sin and Satan, and the world, with all its glittering attractions…
.
And to that, the encouraging words must be resounded…”Never give up! Never, never, never, never…!”

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
THE 5 OFFICES OF ORION
.
But like most of the other Signs which this website reveals, Orion too, has much more to say as he changes his position in the sky. And this Soldier in the Heavens puts on different garb, as he presents the five awesome aspects of his various offices. From ‘Orion the Soldier’, and ‘Orion the Reaper’, and ‘Orion the Archer’, and ‘The Cross of Orion’, and last but certainly not least, “Orion, The Good Shepherd”. This amazing constellation presents a very complex revelation of the God’s magnificent love for a fallen planet.
.
So read on and discover, “things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 13:35
