be alert

this theme just came up as I was listening to worshipping music this morning.

just listening, not really worshipping.

and being alert is one of the best piece of advice that God has ever given to us.

Be alert and self-controlled! Alcohol doesn't help one do that.

Be alert and self-controlled! Alcohol doesn't inhibit the tongue from slipping.

I say, even when supposedly doing the things of God, be alert and self-controlled.

Worship music can be playing in the background, worship music can soften the heart and leave it vulnerable, for the devil to attack, if we are not alert. Be alert at all times!

Serving in ministry is a good thing and we can be in that zone where we can let God move. Or we can be moved by pride, ego, power... be alert..

Reading the bible is a good spiritual practice. And being ministered by God's words is a good thing. But be alert, that knowledge doesn't puff up. Be alert..

it takes a moment to slip.

lesson for today.
