Reflections On The Scripture: This passage from Revelation stirs within us a cautionary acknowledgment of the trials and tribulations we may face as followers of the Word. It's a poignant reminder that our faith journey will not always be smooth, for the world is riddled with challenges intended to test our devotion to the Highest. It tells us, believer, brace yourself for there will be moments when adversarial forces seem to have power over all, seemingly suppressing the righteous. However, what it also implores us to understand is the inherent strength in our conviction and the undeniable power of our faith. When trials come, when we find ourselves at war with forces that seem unconquerable, let our fear not overshadow our faith. For if we are one with the Lord, we carry within us His invincible strength, His divine wisdom and His enduring love. Even in the darkest hour, let us remember that, ultimately, God's sovereignty prevails over all else.
