Timothy 4:16
"Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this,
for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers."
ESV
It is
way too easy to let up our guard and when we do, we become vulnerable, opening
ourselves up to worldly thoughts and ways. This way of the world seems so right
at the time, but it definitely isn't. It weakens our spiritual lives, making us
ineffective in our testimony, and losing that anointing that drew others to
Christ through us. That's why we are strongly warned to keep a close watch,
using our spiritual magnifying glasses, so we will stay strong, persistent, and
influencing others to do the same.
Heavenly Father, You know we are but dust. We sleep when You tell us
to be alert. Forgive us for letting down our guard and letting ourselves become
open to the evils of this world. We ask for a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit
and the hunger to stay focused on the things that are eternal. We pray in the
name of Jesus, Amen.
