BE CAREFUL NOT TO STUMBLE

When we read the Bible, we see evidence of God supernaturally bringing the Children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. One would say "If I had that kind of experience, my faith in God would not waiver." Yet as we read on, we learn that their apostasy was such was such that it kept them from entering the promised land.
In the same way, the Church of Jesus Christ and every member in it must guard themselves against unexpected temptation. We may say that our faith can move mountains, but it only took a woman bathing herself to turn away the obedience of David, causing him to commit his great sin.
Therefore, like Peter warns us, we need to be on the guard because Satan because he is like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. The greatest Bible heros were tripped on the smallest of affairs, not the mountains.

Daily Prayer: Father our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak. Teach us to walk by the Spirit, so that we do not fulfill the desires of the flesh. In Jesus' name we pray Amen.
