Guard your thoughts. Guard your patterns. Guard your company. Because what you consistently avoid, you rarely have to fight.
Prov 27:12 The wise [prudent] see danger, evil/trouble ahead and avoid it, but fools keep going straight to it and get into trouble or are punished.
“Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
These words remind us of something powerful: victory in life is not just about resisting temptation—it is about wisely avoiding it.
It is easier to avoid temptation than to resist it. That is why Bible teaches, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”—not “resist temptation.” The battle is first won at the level of the mind, before it becomes an opportunity in real life. Guard your environment.
But keep going.
Remember this: both the tortoise and the cheetah made it into the ark—speed was not the deciding factor. What mattered was staying the course.
The month of May is here.
Take a moment and honestly ask yourself—how are you doing with your annual goals? How are you faring with your life goals and purpose?
Maybe you feel behind schedule. Maybe it seems like your peers, agemates, or classmates are moving ahead faster. That pressure can quietly build, and if unchecked, discouragement can creep in and pull you away from your purpose.
Learn to love people, learn to invest in people, & learn to serve people with a clean heart thro' business! - Peter Kuehni @ Kingdom Business breakfast #nckilimani
I have been told by several misled Christians that I should not sing this song! Ironically, the song is inspired by prophet Amos in chapter 5:23–24 of his book. Everyone join me to sing truth to power.
