I have a Word for You Today: "See To It"

"And Jesus answered and said to them, 'See to it that no one misleads (deceives) you.'" (Matthew 24:4, NASB)

Now we can pray, "Father, don't let anyone mislead me."  But Jesus does not tell us that here.  The command is, "You see to it."  Jesus shed His Blood, died, and rose again; He and Father sent us and came to us in the Holy Spirit.  He has empowered us to, "See to it." 

We live in an age of remarkable deception in all areas of life; and the responsibility for victory is not in our pastor, Christian Television, books, CDs.  They can help, but nothing replaces the way reality works, "You see to it."  The classic, "Well, he seemed so sincere," or, "He really knows his Bible," are excuses of those who want others to, "See to it," for them.  These are the people who are impressed with someone who "really knows his Bible"---------------------- because they don't.

The best way for us to, "See to it," is to walk in all the Living Triune God has for us.  "Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil."  Jesus did not leave us, "comfortless," nor powerless.  He "left us" with Himself, well prepared to, "see to it."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I embrace Your command to, "See to it."  A fearful and awesome command it is.  Amen.
