BE CAREFUL

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist steadfast in the faith, know that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

1 Peter 5:8,9 King James Version

Christmas is almost here and we need to be careful that satan does not sneak up on us in our Celebration of the Christ Child’s Birthday. A lot of us will be getting together with family, loved ones and friends for Christmas.

Many people who never think about Jesus all year, or give Him any time at all in their daily schedule might go to church as that is the thing to do and people would be watching them. When Jesus is lifted up and praised, it makes satan angry so he attacks harder and in a sneaky manner.

Do not allow satan to ruin your Christmas by fighting with your spouse, family, loved ones, and friends. Some people might go to an office party and have just one drink to be sociable. If that person has had a problem with alcohol in the past, satan will use this to lure him or her back into drinking. Be careful, and stay on guard!

If you get irritated with someone, immediately resolve the issue, even if you have to say that you are sorry. It would make satan very happy to see Jesus ignored on His Birthday. Please stay alert and be careful during this time of Joy and Rejoicing.
