Be Alarmed

(Proverbs 24:15 KJV)  Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

The next verse is the promise.  This verse is the warning. 

If you are not one of the “righteous” (6662) this is a warning to you to not mess with God’s people.  There is often a tendency in the followers of Satan to seek out that which is good and clean, and destroy it or make it dirty.  It is expressed in simple frustrations such as the graffiti “artist” looking for the cleanest wall or book that does not belong to him as a canvas for his illustrations.  On a more serious level it is shown in predator males who go to churches looking for nice, well raised young ladies to seduce and drag down.  God is warning you off.

If you are one of God’s people, this is a warning that there are people out to get you.  No, you are not just paranoid.  They are out to get you, to penetrate your “dwelling” (5116a) and disrupt your “resting place” (7258).

So?  Be alert.  Turn on your spiritual security system.  You don’t need a sign saying that your are protected by Smith and Wesson, you need a presence that says you are protected by Trinity Security Systems.  I pray the blessing of safety on you.
