JESUS WARNED US
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
1
Peter 5:8
King
James Version
When
we are serving Jesus, it makes satan very angry and he will do all he can do to
discourage us so much that we stop serving Jesus. We must not let that happen. We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just
as He stayed on the cross for us. Jesus
understands when we get discouraged and feel like giving up because He also was
tired and discouraged when He was here on the mission His Father had given Him.
Jesus
has warned us to be on the alert for the attacks of satan because satan will
use anything and anyone he can use to discourage us. Have you ever had a day when everything was
going great when all of a sudden without any warning at all, someone said or
did something to hurt you and discourage you?
Where we make our mistake is not asking Jesus for help as soon as satan
attacks us.
Pastor
Charles P. Jones wrote one of my favorite hymns “Come Unto Me”. “Hear the blessed Savior calling the
oppressed, “Oh, ye heavy-laden, come to Me and rest; Come, no longer tarry, I
your load will bear, Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care.” Jesus is waiting with His arms outstretched
for us to come to Him so He can carry us through all the dark valleys of our
life.
There
is no one like Jesus. No one loves us
and understands us like Jesus does and nobody ever will. What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth
