1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
How do we discern or judge situations that we know are wrong based on what we have been taught?
Some situations that we come across are very easy to discern.
They are ”in our face and very disturbing”.
We know immediately to stay clear of these, and to pray for those that are caught up in it.
Other times it may not be as noticeable at first, and we can get caught up in them if we are not being careful and paying attention to the promptings/conviction of God’s Spirit living in our heart.
As Christians, we are under attack all the time. The enemy, aka the devil, is always out to get us.
He doesn’t sleep, rest or say, “I give up”. If he can find a weakness, as the saying goes, he’s “on it like a bonnet”. He roams about looking for someone to devour.
That’s us; and he hates us!
If we expect anyone in the world to hate us, it’s him. It’s a compliment.
However, knowing this, we have to be alert. We have to be communicating regularly with the Holy Spirit.
He is always at work for us. And He will get us through the toughest, hardest situations we may ever face in this lifetime.
We are not alone. We have what it takes to battle and to win if we obey the steps He gives us to take.
We will face times and people that are more than we know how to handle. But praise be to God, He gave us the armor to wear and come out alive.
He will blow our minds and our thinking to pieces with His great wisdom, and mighty conquering Spirit! He alone has disarmed and triumphed over darkness.
Colossians 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Stay alive, keep discerning, and be on guard.
Our Captain is on the bridge! Amen.
