"Victory Song"

"O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory." (Psalms 98:1)
I guess what matters the most in all of this is our eternal soul; after all, this earthen vessels are pretty much done by the time they are conceived, in light of eternity. In case you were unaware, the Book that was unable to be opened by any man on earth or elsewhere, was the Title Deed to earth; which is something that Adam had relinquished when he sinned in the garden. I can get moved by many different things; but there is nothing that moves me more than the thought of evil getting stomped out and God's children getting the victory. In this day we find ourselves, there are all kinds of false or fake victory fronts; which are victories that appear to be for good, but they end up becoming the work of the devil. We could look at that as something that needs to be fought against, as if it's the fault of the church that these things are allowed to take place. I am sorry to disappoint anyone who might think they are your mission or that it's your job to turn things around, but it's only going to get worse before it gets any better. Besides, the main victory has already been won! What Jesus did on the cross was more than just die for our sins; Jesus died on that cross to redeem the entire world back to Himself. If that does not do something for you, then I don't know what will, because it's a pretty big deal in heaven. As I sat through a teaching yesterday in church, I was reminded how important it is to stick to basic teaching when we study the Scriptures; it is so easy to make any portion of God's word become something else, other than what it is meant to represent. The basic point that caught my attention was that the teaching started based upon Jesus declaring that He was the fulfillment of the message from Isaiah, which He had read before the congregation. (Luke 4:21) I should not need to tell you what took place before this had happened, because it is plainly recorded in the Scriptures; but Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, and the devil used the Scriptures to tempt Him with. If you think about that, it becomes pretty clear that the devil uses Scripture to make evil appear good; that's pretty much how it's been from the very first sin in the garden. So why are we surprised if it happens today? What makes us think this is something that we are obligated to change? Besides, it already been handled; if we what to feel as though we need to do something, save your own house...
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Revelation 5:9-10) KJV
