Watch and Pray

Some, indeed, plead their natural proneness to sin, excusing themselves, on that ground or on this, that the temptation before which they fell struck them with the suddenness and vehemence of a hurricane. The command, however, to watch and pray leaves you without excuse. You were fully warned. You should have been on the outlook for the white squall. The sentinel is righteously shot who is caught asleep upon his post.—Guthrie
