Danger

 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:11,12

As I drove around the lake this evening, a pair of geese caught my eye. They waddled anxiously along the roadside, necks outstretched. Half a dozen little fluff balls tumbled between them and the fence. The parents were trying to shoo their little gaggle of goslings under a fence away from the traffic and back to the lake. 

I thought how our heavenly Father constantly stands between us and danger, trying to lead us in the right direction. He gave His only Son to protect us from eternal destruction. As parents, God gives us the same responsibility of protecting our children from the physical and spiritual dangers they face daily. We usually do a good job with physical protection, but there is so much more out there that our children unknowingly may stumble into. How can we as parents daily monitor our children's spiritual lives at home, at school, and with friends? He has given us the instruction manual. What ways has God shown you to protect your children? Please share your insights. 

Hey Kids:

Did you know Satan tries to trick even kids into believing and doing the wrong things? 

It's easy to know that fighting and lying and stealing are wrong. 

Satan likes to take things little by little and step by step so we don't notice we're stepping onto a dangerous path. 

How do you safeguard your heart from Satan's trickery?

Your friends and I would love to learn your strategies.
