Sorry I have been missing for these last two days. If you see me missing, pray cuz he (the enemy) has landed a punch that has me staggering or I’m down. The scripture that buzzes around in my head is “Lest satan should get an advantage of me, for I am not ignorant of his devices.” I have to examine how he keeps tripping me up! I suddenly realize I am in trouble when I struggle getting up in the mornings—usually fighting depression as it tries to overtake me. Like I said in previous postings, depression is a spirit come to wear you down as it attempts positioning you in death row. satan never changes strategies until the one that has always worked no longer works. So, learn what puts you on your face, then devise strategies for them to die at first attempt. You know I used to hear it said that if you have a problem with alcohol, to defeat that issue don’t hang with those that do and find other ways to get to where you want to go either than routes that will have you pass liquor stores. Once those major pit falls are dealt with, all the other helpers will be easy to spot and get rid of. Now this is how the world deals with grave issues of life, how much more I who has the Holy Ghost! Discipline is the key; renewal of the mind is paramount in my strategy. Another thing that I have to keep in mind is that the enemy is real and the battle is fierce. Timothy said fight the good fight of faith; I believe that is a daily thing from morning till night.
No lesson today, just a plea for help. I know for years I have thought a Christian who is following the Lord, strong in the Lord should not have moments of being knocked down; show strength and never waiver all the time. So, when I get tripped up, I feel like I have to go back to where I must have left my Helper. Now I realize He carries me in my down times, when He deems, I am strong enough to continue the journey on my own feet, He puts me gently down. I just have to thank Him and keep walking alongside Him.
Thank you to those who had the wisdom to put my name before the Lord.
