Alyssa, I loved this post! What a great feature from over at Dawn’s Grace and Truth! It is so important to stay on guard. The enemy sneaks in and if we are not paying attention, he causes us to stumble and fall before we know it! I’d love to have you join me sometime at #MomentofHope on Mondays! Your posts are so beautiful and hope-filled!
Blessings and smiles,
Lori

So true, we need to be alert to our thoughts and make them all obedient to Christ. Thanks Alyssa.

I completely agree. We could eliminate a lot of our battles before they even have a chance to begin if we would simply keep our minds alert. Thank you for stopping by today!

Being alert–that state of readiness–is MORE than half the battle. That phrase, “ignorance is bliss” … is a lie! We set up ourselves up for defeat when we aren’t paying attention. Good words today, Alyssa! Visiting from G&T.

Alyssa, this was so good. I don’t think I had ever thought too deeply about what it means to be sober-minded before. God must be wanting me to learn something about staying alert and sober-minded. He used your words to bless me. I’m reading a book called, Fervent, right now (which is about prayer) and it touches on some of these same things you’ve written about.
Thank you for linking with Grace and Truth last week. I’d love to feature this post tomorrow.

So much involved in the concept of “sober-minded” Alyssa. I love what you’ve drawn from this and the encouragement to be more intentional in an area that is the foundation for so much of our faith walk.
