Watch Out—Don’t Trip!
Fight the good fight of faith. . . I Timothy 6:12a
• Watch your step.
. .
• Watch your back.
. .
• WATCH OUT!
We
are jammed packed here on earth with all kinds of people. They’re everywhere.
Most of them are pleasant, and play by the rules set by society. However, some
are ill-mannered, vile, and out of their minds—crazy. They don’t abide by anybody’s
rules. Their mission is to trip-up those who want to do right.
Watch Out—Don’t Trip!
The
devil is looking for whom he can devour. He has mean-spirited people scattered
about for you to trip over. If you waste your life concentrating and brooding over
how they have wronged you; thinking of ways to get back at them instead of
focusing on your life and the assignment(s) that God has for you to do, well.
. .
You
got devoured!
You
can’t let the devil control how you respond to negative emotions without jeopardizing
the blessings that God has for you. It’s not easy to hand out love when hate is
thrown at you, but that’s how it works in God’s kingdom.
Short
term gratification isn’t worth lifelong blessings.
Jesus
died for you and for your haters to be free; not to have to live in bondage. Therefore,
pray for your enemies. Don’t squander your time using ineffective weapons of
hate.
You
know what to do. Put on your armor;
fight the good fight of faith, and WIN.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the
power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And
your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above
all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked. And
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Ephesians 6:10-18)
If anybody is going to do any tripping,
it will be the enemy.
