Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoiver therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4

"I'll leave the door open for you, come on in". How many times have you said that to friends and family you are expecting to come visit you? We welcome their arrival and we don't want to hinder them coming in to our home. Other times its necessary to keep that back door locked so people with bad intentions don't walk in. 

How true for the child of God. We know that the world's ways are toxic to our lives, yet how often do we forget to lock the door to sin and pleasures that counter God's standards? We keep the door open for the Lord and after while we just leave it open. Don't let your guard down, keep a watchful eye and don't let the devil slip in. He finds it easy when we leave our heart open. He will come in and mess up life, robbing you of joy, peace and love. 

You can't leave that door unlocked all the time. You've got to have some control, otherwise the devil will walk in a steal what you've got. Don't allow the world's ways to slip in, close the door to sin and don't give the devil a foothold or open door to your heart. You know God's knock, wait for Him and everything in life will be a rich blessing.
