This powerful message centers on Proverbs 22:3, which teaches us about being prudent—wise, cautious, and watchful for spiritual dangers ahead. We're called to be like that protective parent scanning the theme park for threats, except we're watching for the seeking lion that prowls to destroy our faith and families. The sermon challenges us to develop a predetermined plan for how we'll respond when temptation strikes. Just as we prepare for tornadoes with drills and fire escapes with ladders, we need spiritual preparedness plans. The core question becomes beautifully simple yet profound: at every fork in the road, which direction brings glory to Jesus? This isn't about legalism or works—it's about having our hearts so aligned with Christ that our default response glorifies Him. We're reminded that we hide ourselves in Christ, just as the Israelites hid behind the blood on their doorposts and Noah hid in the ark. The Holy Spirit dwelling within us points us constantly toward truth, helping us navigate even the gray areas Scripture doesn't explicitly address. When we're uncertain, we can ask: Will this honor Jesus? Will this allow me to point others to Him? The message culminates with a sobering reminder that while we freely worship today, millions of our brothers and sisters worldwide face persecution and death for their faith—and still they choose to glorify Christ.
