February 9 Be watchful. Revelation 3:2
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and
strengthen the things
which remain, that are ready to die: for
I have not found thy works perfect before
God.
Satan is watching to
ensnare us, the world is watching to exult over us, and God is watching to
protect us.
Jesus are best friend says
to us “BE WATCHFUL.”
Watch against the spirit of
the world, against thy easily besetting sins, against seasons of temptation,
and against Satan the sworn enemy of thy soul.
Watch for opportunities to
do good, for answers to prayer, for the appearance of God as a God of providence.
Unite prayer to God,
dependence on His holy word, and watchfulness together, pray to be kept from sin,
in temptation unspotted from the world; trust in God to answer but do not leave
the throne; and then watch as though all depended upon the diligence and efforts.
Blessed is he that watches
and keep his garments
“Watch year therefore and
pray always.” But trust not to thy I watchfulness, but while watching trust in
God.
He that keepeth thee will
not slumber: He is with thee When on guard, as well as when thou art feasting
on His word and rejoicing at His table.
He withdraws not His eyes
from the righteous. “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears
are open to their cry.”
Watch ye,
therefore, and pray always.
Oh
gracious God, in whom I live,
My feeble
efforts aid;
Help me to
watch, and pray, and strive,
Through trembling
and afraid.
James Smith
