Scripture
Revelation 1:17-18
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Observation
Common peony meanings include romance, prosperity, good fortune, a happy marriage, riches, honor, and compassion — but peonies can also mean bashfulness.
Application
I have a friend who always says, when Satan comes to cause havoc, we need to remind him he has no power. He doesn’t even own the keys to his own house anymore. When Jesus died and rose again, He took everything from Satan, including the keys! We have nothing to fear from Satan. Death itself isn’t in his toolbox. The bible says he is always roaming around Heaven trying to point out to God everything we are doing wrong. Personally, when Satan tries to frighten me with the thought of physical death, I remind him he has to have God’s permission first. If it is my time, then fine. Just remember be careful what you ask for sir. You think I annoy you here on hear, just wait til you see me in Heaven.
Prayer
Thank you Lord for showing me compassion and bestoying your riches and honor on me. ~Amen
