Prepare for attack

When I started trying to blog, I mentioned that this would be a way for me to "journal, maybe even vent." Sometimes, it is really nice to just get some things off your chest, to say, "Look, this is really starting to irritate me." Well, I've had a couple of weeks of that...

I am not going to go into specifics or details; that would be far too wrong and far too open. While I love to share what GOD has shown me or what GOD has done for me, I am really private. I do not like to talk about my life, and, especially, what is going on in my life. But, I would like to talk about the fact that it has been a REALLY trying last couple of weeks.

It never seems to fail that when you are trying to do your best and trying to do what needs to be done that something is going to come along and mess things up; that something is satan. He walks around just trying to tear people down and destroy joy and testimonies. He is very good at this. We must prepare for attack!

Today's word comes from Isaiah 40:29,NIV, which reads, "He (the LORD) gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."

Now, listen, satan loves to attack when we are at our weakest - physically, emotionally, spiritually. He looks for that opportunity to kick us when we are down. The old saying is, "When it rains it pours." satan's motto is, "When it hurts, make it hurt more." He is on the attack!

But, the Bible tells us that GOD will give us strength when we are weary and power when we are weak. When the attacks come, and they will, we can trust that GOD will give us the strength and power to persevere. I will say that it has been difficult to see that recently but I know that I know that I know that GOD has this all under control! satan will attack! GOD will knock him back!

Be Blessed,
