11/25/22 GOD'S SAFEGUARDS

God's word and God's Spirit will definitely lead the obedient believer away from temptation, deception, darkness.

Still, God provides other safeguards and spiritual counsel to protect and deliver from spiritual failure.

Sometimes we are weak or tired or physically overtaxed and we need the support of Caleb and Joshua.
Sometimes our faith is carrying us but our vision is blurred, or possibly we are facing new and unfamiliar challenges.

God has ordained and gifted pastors, shepherds to feed, lead, protect and correct His sheep. Make certain your shepherd is Divinely called, appointed, gifted, led and anointed to do the work of ministry, as God's co-laborer.

As a pastor I read, pray, study and write truths throughout the week which serve God's plan to keep each believer in the light and on the path of victory.

When folks do not align with the Holy Spirit and God's word, and when they ignore God's shepherds, the disaster is inevitable. All things considered there is no excuse for spiritual failure or breakdown.

If you think you stand, beware, you are probably presuming and you are probably trusting in your own strength, and therefore you will fall.
