“The Name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale. Before a down fall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” [1]
The Lord’s Name is an impenetrable shield for the righteous, but the riches of the wealthy is a wall that can be overcome. Humility leads to honor whereas pride precedes a fall.
“Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress. For the Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is He who will save us.” [2]
Salvation is of the Lord!
“Everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” [3]
This is why we trust in the Lord and not in worldly riches.

In God We Trust
The Lord Jesus has graced me with revelations from the Book of Jeremiah that are helpful to better understanding the relevance of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation. I am in the midst of preparing 54 video-recorded presentations, one for each chapter of Jeremiah, plus an intro and conclusion presentation. When the presentations are done, I plan to publish them on YouTube. I also welcome invitations to share these revelations in-person. In the meantime, I publish articles online, intercede for the peoples of the nations, and say to the Lord, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
