Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed
is he who stays awake and keeps his
clothes with him, so that he may not go
naked and be shamefully exposed."
Revelation 16:15 (New International Version)

Reflection:

If you throw a frog in a pan of hot water
and it will quickly leap to safety. The
danger is quit obvious. But place the same
frog in a pan of cold water, and slowly raise
the temperature. The frog will not realize
the danger until he is on the verge of being
boiled alive.
It is the same way with the devil.
Christians easily recognize Satan's frontal
assaults, those are not hard to see. But
the devil doesn't usually use frontal assaults.
Satan has very subtle ways of attacking from
the blind side.
C.S. Lewis once said, "The safest road to hell
is the gradual one- gentle slope, without
sudden turnings, without milestones without
signposts."
The best way for Christians to safeguard
against evil is to abide in our Savior Jesus
Christ and remain alert! Please don't let
yourself be deceived, evil is there often
quietly working. The fire is hot and many are
in danger! Remember there is a reward
awaiting those who are alert. WAKE UP
BE ON GUARD!!!!!

Prayer:

Oh Father, when the works of the
devil surround me please make me aware.
Deepen my understanding of the victory
You won on the Cross. Help me to
experience the Cross so that I can face
evil and partake in Your victory. Give me
strength and confidence in You so that
I will overcome evil in my life. In Jesus
Name AMEN!
