He who does not watch against temptation sets himself up to fall.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
We are never beyond the reach of temptation. Whether at home or out in the world, we are always at risk of being tempted to do wrong. The morning starts with danger, and the evening finds us still at risk. Those who are kept safe are kept by God, but woe to those who venture out or even walk around their
own house without protection. Those who feel most secure are often the most vulnerable. The armor-bearer of sin is self-confidence. Don’t be overconfident. We need a watchman for the night as well as a guardian for the day. Oh, may the love of Jesus compel us to stay active and useful!

Christian, you can rejoice in your safety in Christ, but don’t think you’re safe from attack. You’re like a stream from Lebanon, rushing down cascades, breaking over rocks, being blocked by boulders, and hindered by fallen trees, but you must continue
forward with God’s unstoppable force until you reach the ocean of eternal joy. We are “cast down, but not forsaken.”
