TURN YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM ON!
Author Unknown
Dec 26, 2006

A horrible thing happened to me today.....a thief broke into my house.
It happened shortly after I awoke this morning. I got up and began
rushing about. I had a thousand things on my list and was already
running behind. Quickly, I gulped down breakfast, took a shower and got
ready for work.

In my rush, I forgot to turn the security system on at my house. It was
just about a half an hour later that the thief broke in. Of course, he
didn't make a sound. Just kind of snuck inside, not drawing any
attention to himself. In fact, none of the neighbors ever saw him.

But, I did.

You see, I WAS HOME when the thief broke in.

He naturally startled me, as I was unprepared for his visit. He, of
course, didn't announce that he was coming and I certainly had not
invited him over.

And yet, I found myself face to face with danger and I felt so
powerless. I also felt so very stupid, because this whole incident
could have been avoided if I had just taken the time to turn the security
system on.

You better believe I'll be turning it on tomorrow morning! I thought
I'd warn you about this guy, because he's still on the loose. Chances are,
he's in your area. Possibly even headed for your house.

His name? His name is Satan. You see, this morning when I jumped up in
my haste to get started on my busy day, I skipped my prayer time -
opting to "pray later today." In other words, I DIDN'T TURN ON THE
SECURITY SYSTEM. My defense wasn't on, my guard was dropped ..... and
when the thief came into my home to attack me, I was unprepared to do
battle. He tempted me and I felt powerless. Like I said, I also felt so
very stupid, because I could have avoided the incident if I had just
taken the time to pray.

My friend, the thief has come to "steal, kill and destroy." And, as a
Child of God, you are on his "hit list." He'll probably pop over to
your house today. He may be lurking outside your door right now, just
waiting to catch you off guard.

Take time to pray this morning. Ask God to bind Satan from your very
presence, to protect you and empower you to do battle. In short .....
don't forget to turn your security system on.
