“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?
