As individual Christians, we have been granted the privilege of worshiping and serving our Lord, and of bringing praise and glory to God by our obedient lives while we are here on this earth. If we are not alert and watchful, or if we fail to recognize Satan's destructive activity, the quality and quantity of our worship and our service will suffer. Distractions that consume our thoughts or our time are often the devil's attempts to disturb our worship and our service. The troublesome birds of nagging doubt or inconvenient irritations can keep individual Christians from a joyful and worshipful lifestyle. The birds of prey will seize on any area of weakness, pride, complacency or inattention to disturb, disrupt and even destroy the work of God in our local fellowships.
Christian families are under great attack today.
The devil's birds of prey are doing their best to break down the family structure that God has set up. Because we live in a post-Christian culture, biblical education in the family is more crucial today than ever. We can expect that family Bible teaching and devotional time is one key area targeted for satanic attack. Unfortunately, Satan's destructive disturbances and distractions have all but destroyed devotional times in many Christian homes. Obedience to the Word of God is essential.
