The word of God says that the devil walks about seeking whom he may devour..1 Peter 5:8..he goes about seeking and causing many problems for many people..he goes about trying his best to steal away our joy and our happiness..he goes about trying to ruin our relationships and friendships…that ole devil goes about constantly doing what he knows best to do..so what do we do when we know that the ole enemy of our souls is out there trying to divide and conquer us the children of the Lord..what is it that we are to do?..well we go by what we know to do..we don’t give in to him when we know who it is and we know where it’s coming from..but we do as the word of God says which is overcome evil with good..Romans 12:21..and we are told to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil..for it says we do not wrestle against flesh and blood..but we wrestle against the rulers of the darkness of this ole world..against spiritual wickedness in high places..Ephesians 6:11-13..so we stay prayed up and filled up..we don’t just let everything that comes our way in life take away from us..because if we give in every single time that ole devil comes against us and we lose our temper and we lose our cool so to speak..or we get upset and we cry and we get overly emotional then guys we will live our lives on that overly emotional roller coaster..we will be up and down and round and round..we will never be stable and the word says that a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways..James 1:8..so once again go by facts and go by truth..and don’t let your circumstances change who you are..don’t let your surroundings steal away your joy..for God’s joy it is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..and we all know that whatever we let get to us will continue too just that..and that is what that ole devil will keep on using against us..until we get wise and we know what to do in the situation..so let us be smart and let us be wise for we are wise..for the Lord has made us all wiser than the enemy..Psalm 119:98..so let us all have a great day in the Lord..for this is the day that the Lord our God has made so let us all rejoice and be glad in it..Psalm 118:24..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
