For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man." Physically Drunk Mentally Drunk

Sober – Self Controlled Turn away from the one who has no self control (2 Tim. 3:1-5) Self Control is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22- 23) It is a part of growth in the faith (1 Pet. 1:5-11) We are to control our bodies (hands, feet & tongue) James 3:1-12 We are to control our mind and emotions

Be Vigilant - Watch The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night (1 Thes. 5:2) People will say, “Peace and Safety” (vs. 3) 1 Thes. 5:6Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

Conclusion 1Pe 1:13 ¶ Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Questions: 1) Are we asleep when we should be on guard? 2) Do we need to start resting our hope fully upon Jesus?
