So I have had to change my password.
Maybe I should change it again, to keep ahead of the same crew, who are presumably trying to find out my new one.
Protecting ourselves from those who would do us harm on the internet seems to be increasingly difficult.
But as has been said, by Leonard Courtney, 'the price of peace is eternal vigilance'. With internet vigilance brings peace of a sort, which then leads to security and freedom from attack.
St. Paul reminded his friends of the same matter, when it comes to our battles in the spiritual realm.
' A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on all of God’s armour so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armour so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. . . . . (all the other pieces of the armour of God.)
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.' (Ephesians 6.10-13, 18)
Every day, and throughout every day, we have a spiritual foe, who is determined to distract, divert and destroy us. When we forget that, we are particularly vulnerable to attack.
Paul described all the various items of a Roman soldier's armour, and showed how Christians can learn from the outside world how to be protected by God's power and presence all the time.
I am therefore reminded that I must take time to be well protected, as I pray through the day that is coming. Will you take time to do that too?
Best wishes,
Best wishes,
Richard
