Be on your toes or you might just be six foot under.
1 Peter 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been guarded continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, since midnight, July 2, 1937. Why would anyone want to guard a tomb of an unknown soldier? Why would anyone want to guard a tomb of someone who is dead? Why would anyone want to stand in the summer heat, the winter cold, the rain, the hail, the snow, terrorist attacks, and much, much more? They do it for respect, honor, and nobility. Not directing this toward the soldier who is on guard but the soldier whom gave his life defending the Constitution of the United States of America.
Child of God, we should be on guard in our lives just like the Old Guard walks those 22 steps honoring the Unknown Soldier in the tomb. However, we are not honoring anyone in a tomb. The One we honor is Alive forevermore! We honor our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, by being on guard, being aware of the danger of sin and we take action against it. We make no provision for the flesh because in the day that we do, we become the adversary’s dinner!
