Title: Safeties On
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18
In the movie “Hunt for Red October,” a Russian sub commander turns the safeties off the torpedoes he was firing at a Russian submarine trying to defect to the United States out of pride. He shoots a torpedo in his chase, and it misses the target; the torpedo comes back around, and the submarine he is the commander of blows up. He ignored the warning and affected those around him, disregarding the advice.
Men, don’t turn off your safeties for any reason. This prideful move will cause you to fall. God has warned us of the enemy’s tactics, and we can’t be prideful and face them on our own. God is our unfailing safety, but we must allow Him to be and not ignore the warnings.
Real Men use God as a safety.
