We need to be on Guard

Minor Prophets - Old Testament
S - Scripture
Joel 3 v. 16 And the Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and earth shake. But the Lord is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the People of Israel.

O - Observation
Judgment will come. And when it does it will be a fearful event. But not so for those who place their trust in Jesus. We need to be ready for this event. Matthew 24 v. 42, 44a, "Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. Therefore you also must be ready." I think of a Guard, who watches, protects things at all times. A guard knows what to do. Knows how to act, is on a mission. That is how we must be. We need to watch, keep ourselves in God's word vs. getting entangled in the way of the world. We need to protect our minds from the lies of Satan. We need to be on a holy mission to live our lives for Jesus.

A - Application
How good of a guard am I? Am I prepared for Judgment Day?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to stay focused on you.  Love Will
