Watch, be sober

Children of the Day, children of light: Watch and be sober.

We are sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

We are in the Lord and He is in us. We, the children of the Day, the children of light—We know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night unto those who are asleep, to those who are children of the Night, to children of darkness, to children in darkness; to those who are drunken; to those who are blind; to those who are deceived, to those who have deceived themselves.

We comfort ourselves in the Lord. We edify one another in the Lord. We live together in the Lord. We do not sleep as do others sleep. We are sober—watching and praying.

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Be not deceived.
