Don’t let me do what I know is wrong. Don’t let sin control me. If you help me, I can be pure and free from sin. [Psalm 19:13 (ERV)]

I remember an old (1980) movie called “My Bodyguard.” In it, a nerdy high-school kid, who is being harassed by the school bully, hires a fellow classmate, a husky loner, to be his bodyguard. Eventually the two become friends. We probably don’t need a bodyguard, but we all could benefit from a “soul guard”. God provided one: the Holy Spirit! So let’s make friends with Him.

I’m not afraid of the devil. The devil can handle me – he’s got judo I never heard of. But he can’t handle the One to whom I’m joined; he can’t handle the One to whom I’m united; he can’t handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature. [A. W. Tozer]
