MISSING THE LAND MINES OF LIFE

“THE WICKED HAVE SET THEIR TRAPS FOR ME, BUT I WILL NOT TURN FROM YOUR COMMANDMENTS.” PSALM 119: 110

Each day as we walk out the door and into the world, there are the land mines of life that we must be able to maneuver through. Each day that passes we get closer to the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Each day that we move closer to his return, the more desperate the devil gets. The devil is very aware of the end times. He knows the scriptures very well. He is working desperately to build up his army and he wants you and me to be included. He is a wise and crafty one. If we don’t pray each day to the Lord our God, and stay close to him, we can be deceived very easily by the evil one. He will try to use God’s words against us. He will turn them around and upside down and convince us that we are truly following the Lord, when in reality, we are following the devil’s ways. He sets traps for us, and we must be wise and knowledgeable enough to be able to discern what is right and what is wrong. God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us. If we listen to him, he will direct through these land mines. He will keep us on the straight and narrow. We must, however, stay in the Word of God, meditate upon it and pray his promises. This is not the time for us as Christians to take a vacation from God. We must stay in constant communication with him and know and understand, to the best of our knowledge, his commandments for our lives. If we do, he tells us that we are overcomers. We will defeat the devil and his army, and we will always be protected. He must be our refuge and we must live within his shelter. He is our Lord, our Savior, our everything! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
