Sitting 🦆

 Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Here we read of another clever trick from the enemy.  Remember who the enemy is.

Matthew 13:25 (KJV) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Matthew 13:39 (KJV) The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

In combat you learn the tricks of the enemy. By doing so you learn to stay alive. The Bible teaches us who the enemy is, we are plainly told the enemy is the devil. Oh, I know many don’t believe that the devil really exist or the Bible is God’s Word. If that’s you then you have walked into one of the devil's,  the enemies traps. Remember, traps are set and they are not that noticeable so that the prey will walk right in. The mouse trap that is set with p-nut butter draws the mouse with his kin scent of smell to it. He places his head into the trap to get a bite of p-nut butter only to get his neck broken. The enemy’s job is to disorientate, disorganize, separate, kill and destroy. We as God’s people are warned not to forsake the assembly of ourselves together. Oh you may say I don’t need to go to where God’s people assemble, God and I have our own thing going on. Really! I think you might have just fallen into one of the enemies traps. Remember to avoid the enemy you must learn the enemy and watch out for their traps. Don’t go to where God’s people assemble and look what you miss; for it’s a place where you can be given strength, where your spirit can be uplifted and encouraged. Miss that and you have robbed yourself of those three great blessings that would help you tremendously.  Then we read to do it more when we see the day approaching. Could that be the approaching of the Lord's return? If so then look around, know your surroundings less the enemy comes upon you unaware. Another lesson in fighting the enemy: know your surroundings. Matthew 24:37 (KJV) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Learn what were the practices of that generation in which Noah lived. If you do then you may not be surprised of what’s going on in our day, it is easy to see, if you know what to look for. One day the Lord is going to come. Maybe morning, it may be noon, or it may be night, it just depends on what part of the world you are living in. Just like the days of Noah they knew not. 

Matthew 24:39 (KJV) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Know as much about your enemy the devil as possible. Know as much about your surrounding as you can, the world we live in. Learn from those who have been in country you’ll never know it all. If you fail to associate with those who go to the house of God then you become a sitting duck.
