Don't
Get
Sidetracked
Scripture
Proverbs
4
Observation
Stay
on course! Don't veer off! Don't let anything change your course!
Satan wants to mess you up! He wants us to choose evil and he wants
us to veer off course! Don't do it! He is cunning. He is clever. He
wants to destroy us! He wants to destroy our marriage, or
relationships, our family. Don't let him get you sidetracked!
What
can help us stay on track?
Here
are 3 suggestions:
Read
God's word everyday.
Be
a part of an exciting church where the people love the Lord and God's
word is preached!
Be
an active participant in a small group where you can meet and make
some great Christian friends.

Peter 5:8
Stay
alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around
like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Ephesians
4
26
And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the
sun go down while you are still angry, 27 for anger gives a foothold
to the devil.
Ephesians
6
11
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm
against all strategies of the devil.
Application
I
will not get sidetracked. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it is so easy to get sidetracked by evil. Our old nature
wants us to yield to temptation and Satan and his cronies are always
tempting us. They always want us to choose something that appears to
be good. Something that is appealing to us. Something that is
pleasurable for a moment but that will never satisfy.
So
thank You for giving me Your Holy Spirit. Your Spirit that raised
Jesus from the dead lives in me. I can do all things through Christ
who gives me strength. I do not have to yield to sin. I do not have
to get sidetracked. Your word have I hid in my heart so I will not
sin against You. (Romans 8:11, Philippians 4:13, Psalm 119:11
