Don’t let your hearts grow numb.
Stay alert.
It is your soul which matters.
Albert Schweitzer

Listen, stay alert,
stand tall in the faith,
be courageous, and be strong.
Let love prevail in your life, words, and actions.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 The Voice
***
Keep a cool head. Stay alert.
The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping.
Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times.
It’s the same with Christians all over the world.
So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever.
1 Peter 5:8-9 The Message
***
Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander
into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger.
Matthew 26:41a The Message
***
“Being alert is not to vigilantly stand on tip-toe
in order to scan some distant horizon
out of the fear of some approaching enemy.
Quite the opposite.
It is falling to our knees knowing that God is already out on that horizon
and that He thwarted the enemy long before they ever reached it.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Awareness of God’s presence is the foundation of true alertness.”
