Be Accountable

09 28 10 Tuesday

Stay on guard, don’t ever let your guard down.  By this I don’t mean building walls to keep others out.  What I mean is guard against the enemy that will attack you when you drop your guard.

Over the past year or so I have made a lot of changes in my life, just as many of you have too.  However, I relaxed in some areas and let my guard down and the sure enough the enemy attacked.  Not through a violent explosion but through quiet erosion.  I allowed things to come back into me that need not be there.  Then there is the explosion.  The only way to keep this from happening to through accountability.  For those that are married be at the very most accountable to your spouse. This has been an area I have failed in too often. I want to trust and be accountable to my wife and I will be.  Then find someone that will hold you accountable.  May be a pastor or someone that has integrity and is trustworthy.  Also make sure, other than your spouse, that your accountable to folk of the same sex.  Bottom line is be open and honest, areas I have to deal with every day of my life, but I am dealing with them.  I will submit to my wife and be accountable to her and other men in my life. I encourage you to do the same.  Accountability may just save you from a lot of heart ache in your life.  Choose today to be accountable.
