Among its various tasks, there is one which is most important and that is the constant position of being vigilant, and it has made them responsible for alerting the other meercats to the approach intruders in their territory and therefore they are able to protect themselves from danger.
In the same way, we must take care of ourselves, protect one another, and submit to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from us. James 4:7
