Tradcatknight: Ecclesiasticus 2: Expect Temptations
By: Eric Gajewski
Ecc 2:1 “Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation.”
When we join the Divine Army of Our Lord we should expect temptations. If you seek to be a Saint you should expect even greater temptations. Many know that the enemy of souls will be allowed to tempt them but how few actually PREPARE for the battle. Yea, there is a battle for the soul being fought in the mind and heart of every Christian. We must stand in fear of God, pray and wait in patience for the Beloved to “show”. Not that He is not there but the Holy Ghost knows how to hide himself within to make it “seem” as though He is not there. The Soldier who is not armed and properly defended for this battle will never advance interiorly and most likely will lose their soul. We have the Rosary and Scapular to help us in this fight. We have our guardian angels yet why do so many think they will actually win “the battle” without trust in God? Today I cover a Chapter in Scripture which clearly outlines that we must fear the Lord, trust in His strength, recognize that Love is tried, recognize we grow in grace and virtue with every battle won and lastly realize that through Faith and Hope God keeps, recovers and restores us.
