Equipped for the Job

1 Peter 5:7-10
We never reach an age where we are no longer tempted.
What is more important than getting our children through this life? It is our job to help them watch for and avoid the "roaring lion."
We must learn to fight for our children the way a mama bear fights for her cubs.
We wouldn't be in the position we're in if we weren't equipped for the task.
We've been given the "tools for the trade."
Do we use the power and equipment that the Lord has given to us?
If you feel overwhelmed at the thought, just remember that Jesus is in the habit of lifting burdens-- when we bring them to Him.
Children, family, and friends are truly the only things we can take with us into eternity. Are we fighting to take them to heaven or letting them slide into hell?
Where are our priorities?
Can we say, "I've fought the good fight?" (or "I am fighting the good fight?")
We must help show the way around traps that Satan sets for our young people.
