We have been going through some severe trials and as i was going through the Bible to find certain verses fitting for comfort to my family, i was impressed by Our Father to also set forth this warning: We must not fall asleep! The devil, our adversary goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
I Thess 5:2-10
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For 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. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5Ye 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. 
7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8But 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. 9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
The devil is using every tick and staying/abiding in Jesus is our safety.
I love you all and do not want any to perish, so if you know of someone who might need this please pass it on.
