Guard Against Dissipation
Calvin Kochi34“But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. 35For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:34-36
The Lord is giving clear warnings to stay awake or alert at all times, and to be in constant prayer so that I can have the strength and endurance to overcome the times that lie ahead. I must be prepared for the times that lie ahead because it can come suddenly and when you are totally unaware. The scary part is it is a trap of the enemy to weigh you down with the struggles of finances, relationships, and with all kinds of problems that you just want to give up. The worst is that you worries and fears that cause you to squander you money, time, energy, marriage, relationships, resources, and your health. Which can lead you to drugs, alcohol basically throwing your life away.

Thank you for making me aware of the traps of the enemy that would cause me to lose sight and focus on Jesus. Lord help me to stay alert and to heed the warning signs that would prevent me from passing the test. I will be tested but I know where my strength come form and it is from you Lord.
