"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

Taking a Stand

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

Have you taken a stand against the devil and his desire to seek and destroy us and our families? I recently have been reminded of our continual need to stand in the gap, covering our loved ones in prayer. Often when we have a mountain top experience, or a time of God reaffirming His desire for our life, Satan is waiting in the wings, off stage for his opportunity to attack.

I realize how important it is to claim Joshua 24:15 which says, "But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” How are you doing with praying for your family each day?
