"Offer prayers and petitions in the Spirit all the time. Stay ALERT by hanging in there and praying for all believers." CEB, Eph. 6:18 |
I'm still FOCUSing on ALERT, but I promise that this blog post will not be like "ALERT" or a few of my other recent ones, strictly scriptural. 😉 At least, I intend it to be.
The book, FOCUS ... gives more than the main verse 1 Corinthians 16:13 BLB that I shared back on the 1st blog post for this week's One Word but the book's 4 scriptures do not contain the One Word: ALERT. The verses given are: 1 Peter 4:12; John 14:26; John 16:33; Proverbs 18:10 all in the ESV. I did share 2 additional ones in "ALERT" from The Voice (Luke 12:40) and Romans 5:3-5 from The Message (MSG); plus a Verse Image of 1 Peter 5:8-9 from Bible (dot) com - You Version. However, there are quite a few scripture verses with the One Word
ALERT
I've chosen a few to share:
| Mark 13:33 "Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. And since you don't know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert ... " " What I say to you I say to everyone, ‘Be on the alert [stay awake and be continually cautious]!’ ” Mark 13:37, Amplified (AMP) |
but as you may know - I love Word Studies
| "Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being ALERT and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving." Colossians 4:2 AMP |
| "So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded." 1 Thessalonians 5:6 NLT |
|
"Be constantly alert, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God." NASB Revelation 3:2 "So remember what you received and heard. Obey it, and repent. If you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you won't know the time when I will come to you." Revelation 3:3 International Standard Version (ISV) |
|
"But keep ALERT at all times [be attentive and ready], praying that you may have the strength and ability [to be found worthy and] to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man [at His coming].” "Luke 21:36 AMP "Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed." Luke 12:38 Berean Standard Bible (BSB) |
| Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:43; Matthew 25:13 |
Also, there is one in Isaiah, Joshua; and a couple of the Psalms (17 & 127) with ALERT.
| "Remember, as you prepare to fight against us, that the True God is on our side and is leading us. His priests will blow the signal trumpets to alert Him that you are here to fight us, and He will rescue us from our enemies as He promised. O Israelites, God’s chosen people, do not fight against the Eternal One, the True God of your fathers, because you will not succeed." 2 Chronicles 13:12, The Voice |
