Watch and Be Sober

“Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober” (1 Thessalonians 5:5-6).

If godly men like Job and Peter were tested by the devil, we have to believe he is there to do whatever he can to turn us away from God.  Will we pass or fail the test?

As children of light we must stay plugged into our power source at all times.  God stands ready to equip us each day as we battle the devil with all his ploys. We can’t “watch and be sober” if worry and fear take over our minds.  We are soldiers in the Lord’s army. We must completely trust our General.

Next week we will discuss “The Battlefield.” The Handprint or summation for this study reads, “In this war for human souls, the battlefield is the mind.”
