Watching for Danger
I read an email recently that noted ways women can remain safer in their environments by being more aware of their surroundings. It mentioned that women should remain alert and watchful when walking in parking lots, checking the area in and around their cars before getting in and not staying in the parking space to check receipts or make phone calls, but rather driving away immediately as assailants might be watching them.
This world is a scary place and it is important that we are consciously watching for danger, not just while out in public places, but also in the comfort of our own homes. With television, computers and other influences in our lives, we can become complacent forgetting to pray and spending more time entertaining ourselves then edifying ourselves with the Word of God. We quit watching for danger. We allow ourselves to slip slowly into old habits and fleshly ways that require daily coverage in prayer to keep them at bay.

Taking cover as a sudden thunderstorm strikes.
Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
