1 Peter 5:8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Luke 21:36 But stay alert at all times, praying that you will have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Mark 13:37 What I say to you I say to all: ‘Stay alert!’”
I know I've talked about this before maybe not in this way. We always need to be on alert for the devil and for evil. we always need to be on alert for these things. if we are to let our guard down, we be devoured like the verse above says. We are to pray to have strength to escape what is to come. as long as we pray and stay alert God will guide us and be with us as evil and the devil fall. we are not to get drunk and be alert but be sober and be alert.
Do not be like the disciples as Jesus was praying before he was taken to be crucified, he said to take watch and every time Jesus checked on them, they were asleep. It doesn't mean we are not sleep but there is a time for sleep and even when we sleep, we are to be on alert also. do you ever pray for you sleep and for God to be with you as you sleep? we are to be on alert 24/7. For the devil comes at night too and can devour you. But is always with us even at night.
So, today go forth and be alert.
