In An Eveningtide
“And it came to pass in an eveningtide that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself… And David sent messengers, and took her.”—2 Samuel 11:2, 4
King David was at the peak of success. He had risen to his greatest glory. All of the surrounding nations had sworn allegiance to him and his nation trusted him as their shepherd-king. But “it came to pass in an eveningtide,” in one night, that he found himself morally shipwrecked.
You may be at the top of your spiritual game, but take heed, stay awake, be sober, for Satan is on the prowl, waiting to knock you off of your throne. The only way for you to prevent it from happening to you is to make sure that Jesus is constantly, moment-by-moment, on the throne of your life.
Terrible things can happen in a single night, things which change the course of our lives forever. Spiritual warfare can be a brutal battle. Are you prepared? If not, then strap on the armor of God today. You can read about it in Ephesians 6:10-18. The most valuable resource is prayer used in conjunction with the Word of God. Now… on guard!
