KEEP WATCH

“KEEP WATCH AND PRAY, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION. FOR THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE BODY IS WEAK.” MARK 14:38

The devil works 24/7. He and his fallen angels never sleep. They are looking for any and every opportunity to slip into any situation where weakness is shown. They will cause fear, doubt, worry, confusion, anger and any other evil they can muster up. Mark 14:38 tells us that we must keep alert. We must pray consistently and stay strong in God’s mighty word. The Holy Spirit who lives in us is very willing to resist temptations, but the bodies are weak and are not so willing. There are times where we know exactly what we should do but we just cannot get up the energy to do it. We know right from wrong, but we may lay back and say, “well maybe just this one time.” Our bodies and minds are constantly being attacked. We sometimes focus on the things going on around us and forget to focus on the end result, Jesus. We must stay on our toes, make ourselves aware of the things going on around us, pray at all times and listen very carefully to what the Lord is telling us. If there is anything we are about to do that is not in line with what God’s word says, then we should back away from it. We should go to the bible and see what it says to do. Our Lord loves us so much that he has given us warnings about how to handle temptation. LET US GIVE PRAISE AND THANKGIVING TO OUR LORD GOD IN HEAVEN IN ALL SITUATIONS!
