Eyes Wide Shut...

So consumed and focused on the obvious, we fail to see the enemy walking through the back door.  The master or deceit is wreaking havoc all around us and while we all run to see what the commotion is all about, we don't leave anyone on post to guard.

I believe that's what's happening to many of us.  We have become so consumed with the obvious issues of life, that we are being caught off guard by the bold attacks of the enemy.  The issues that are knocking us off balance aren't some secret mysterious thing, no - it's right in our faces, but we have our eyes wide shut!

I Peter 5:8...Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour..

 

Matthew 26:41...Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak...
