On Which Side Of
LEST Are You?

“But of the fruit of the tree
Which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it...
LEST YE DIE.”

Genesis 3:3

LestContinue “Lest” is an archaic but very relevant word that always warns of pending trouble. It’s a useful conjunction of CAUTION between the possibility of either Safety or Danger, so depending on which side of the 'Lest' you are standing always determines one of those two outcomes.

Lest is mentioned over two hundred times in scripture, and Adam and Eve were the first to find out the consequence of being on the wrong side of “Lest” - not only to themselves - but to the FALL of the entire world cast into sin. Such is the seriousness of this word when used in scripture!

The Bible gives numerous examples of LEST, and Jesus not only warned us about this, but also gave the solution when he said “Watch ye and pray, LEST ye enter into temptation.”

When we are reading God’s Word consistantly and praying for guidence, this acts just like a large road sign warning us of the “Lest” danger ahead - which if ignored - always leads to a great FALL.

Friend, we are all given free will and daily are presented with thoughts, ideas, and temptations that we know deep down will be a sure violation of the orange LEST sign before us. It is up to you to either heed the sign - or ignore it - at your own peril.

Which side of LEST that you are facing today are you standing?
