Be on your guard
Be on your guard
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. I Corinthians 16:13 This is our call of duty! To be on guard, to stand firm in the faith, to be men(women) of courage and to be strong! Let us look at each one up close. What does it mean to be on guard? Why is it important? It means to be alert or vigilant against the devil; and also it means to be ready for the imminent return of our Lord. The Bible says in I Peter 5:8, Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. If we slack even a little he will devour us alive. No, don't be afraid of his prowling. Scripture teaches us to, Resist the devil, and he will flee from us. James 4:7. Apostle Paul instructs us in Ephesians 4:27, "...do not give the devil a foothold." A foothold is all the devil is looking for, to get in and settle down squarely in our hearts, instantly ridding off our joy and taking reign over our thoughts and actions. A little temptation, a little stumble, a little pride, little self pity is all it takes to derail us from our Spiritual journey. Therefore it is extremely important to watch out for his cunning schemes. Paul goes on to say in Ephesians 6:11, "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." You can read more about the Full Armor of God by clicking here, which we will also discuss at large one of the days. Coffee with Jesus
