Lesson18: Security features
None of the vehicles I have ever owned have been on the “most stolen” list. Only someone desperate would steal a Vauxhall—although someone did steal the battery out of it. And then there was the K-car and an old Aerostar minivan, and a string of other practical but not-very-sought-after vehicles. Years ago it was fairly easy for thieves to “hot wire” cars. Even teens did this just to go on a joy ride, with no intentions of keeping the vehicles. Today security features are much improved with electronic keys, remote door locks, and built in GPS systems to track stolen cars.
In the Bible the devil is described as a thief who comes to take away that which God has given us. We see in the story Adam and Eve how the devil stole their innocence and security. We see in the story of Noah how the devil took away peace from the earth and replaced it with violence. In the parable of the farmer scattering his seeds the devil took away the word of the gospel before it could take root in the hearts of the hearers. We must be always on our guard against the devil lest temptations of the world and the flesh rob us of our peace and the blessings we have in Jesus.
Revelation 3:11
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
