Stay alert

When your head is down and your lapping up the water - that is when you are vulnerable! In other words - when our focus is on one thing and we are no longer watching our backs, that is when we get attacked! While things like weddings and funerals are huge events in life, we need to make sure we have friends and family still watching out for us... This means prayer! The devil doesn't take a holiday just because a close friend or family member has died, gotten married or any other big event is on! When we are distracted with lifes painful or exciting bits, we let our guard down and that can (not always) give the ever opportunistic devil an opportunity! I'm not saying to be fearful, just to keep a lookout!
Those who don't pay attention to their surroundings are more likely to be picked off! We need to stay alert and remember - the devil has "unfair" work practices. His hordes never get sick days, they never get holidays, rostered days off or anything else! They work 24/7! And they always look for opportunities. A distracted child of God is easier pickings than an alert child of God! Remain alert - continue praying and seeking God!
