Colossians 4:2 (NIV)

FROM TODAY'S READING...

"Watchfulness is nothing else but the soul running up and down, to and fro, busy everywhere. Watchfulness is the heart busied and employed with diligent observation of what comes from within us, and of what comes from without us and into us. Ah, souls! you are no longer safe and secure than when you are upon your watch."

Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

English Puritan preacher and author


Colossians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.


1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬) Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.


1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
