A False Sense Of Security

I often tell my children that they have a false sense of security because of where we live. My children never lock doors because of the environment in which we live, they look out for their safety and they are oblivious to real life.

My aunt came to visit me and it was past midnight when we got from the airport and I said just open the door, the kids never lock it. She looked at me in amazement and said well please lock the door. When we got in the house my kids were knocked out, none of the noise we made woke them up. I said, oh my kids have a false sense of security and she said I see.

How many of us have a false sense of security because of the amount of money we make or the neighborhood we live in?

How many of us live life as though calamity and troubles will never happen to us?

How many of us let our guard down because we have been getting away with things for so long and never got caught?

Well some Christians live their lives with a false sense of security. They like to say once saved always saved and they feel that they can live any kind of way.

The only real security we have is in Christ Jesus. Let’s not let our lust or greed give us a false sense of security. But, let our relationship with Christ be all the security we need.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Stay Alert Stay Alive

The bible says The Lord will come like a thief in the night and that we will not know at what time he’s coming. Does this make us more alert or do we go about our business as usual?

When I was in war we were alert at all times. We didn’t know which direction the enemy would be coming from and we definitely didn’t know the time they were coming. The enemy never sent out a Public Service Announcement, they just showed up and all hell broke loose. We always told our Soldiers, stay alert stay alive.

It’s hard to be caught off guard when you are alert. It’s hard for the enemy to do a sneak attack when you are alert.

Well we know that Jesus is coming back but why are we not on alert? Why do we go around acting like we don’t have another life to live after this earthly life? I always hear people say; ” you only live once”. They are dead wrong, you live twice, once on earth and once at your final stop, heaven or hell.

So stay alert so that you can be alive in peace, joy, harmony and praise with your father when your time is up down here. Stop going about your day thinking that this day is like every other day, because this could be the day that the trumpet sounds.

Stay alert Stay alive.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
