August 9

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.” Having prayed, you must also watch; guarding every thought, word, and action with holy jealousy. Do not expose yourself unnecessarily; but if called to exposure, if you are bidden to go where the darts are flying, never venture forth without your shield; for the devil will rejoice that his hour of triumph is come, and will soon make you fall down wounded by his arrows. Though slain you cannot be, wounded you may be. “Be sober, be vigilant; danger may be in an hour when all seemeth securest to thee.” Therefore take heed to thy ways, and watch unto prayer. May the Holy Spirit guide us in all our ways.
