'Be Cautious When Going Into Battle.'
Genesis 14:8-10.
a) Genesis 14:8. The kings gathered together for battle.
b) Genesis 14:9. The opponent kings also gathered for battle.
c) Genesis 14:10. The original aggressors fled, some fell into bitumen pits, others fled to the hill country.
(This QT reminds me to Be Cautious When Going Into Battle - any kind of battle!)
PRAY: For caution as well as Faith.

'No Need To Live In Darkness.'
1 John 1:6-9.
a) 1 John 1:6. We are lying if we say that we have Fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness. We are not practising the Truth.
b) 1 John 1:7. If we are living in the Light, as God is in the Light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the Blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
c) 1 John 1:8. If we claim to have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the Truth.
d) 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins to Him, He is Faithful and Just to forgives us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
(This Second one teaches me that there is No Need To Live In Darkness)
PRAY: Rejecting all darkness from our minds and lives.

Whatever kind of battle it is, be cautious when going into battle! Some people really 'thrive' on battle, they feel like, and show, that they have to fight for everything. I think that our life example is the Lord Jesus Christ. It does us well to think about and read about Him before we go into battle.
