BE ON GUARD!
2 Peter 3:11 – Devotional
2 Peter 3:11
“Be on guard so you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and be led away from your secure position.”
As a former city police officer and Air Force Combat Missile Commander, I know what it is to be on guard. I have spent many wakeful nights to insure others are safe in their beds. The threat of enemies is deterred by those who are constantly on guard.
It is an awesome responsibility to be placed in a position of trust. As a police officer I was able to break up family disputes and save business owners from losing their property to burglars. In the Air Force I stood ready to defend our nation in the event an enemy launched a missile toward our shores.
Spiritually, I feel the need to defend the inerrant Word of God against the relentless attacks of liberal theologians who feel a committee is able to set aside the absolutes of Scripture. Defending God’s Word is a responsibility each of us should assume.
The best way to defend the faith is to follow what this passage in 2 Peter 3:12 advises: “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” The more we study God’s Word and commune with Him in prayer, the more we will be able to stand guard.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
