Ladies, I don't know about you, but sometimes I need a reminder that there is an ememy out there, loose in the world, who seeks to destroy me (Jn. 10:10). Sometimes I need a reminder to put on the full armor of God (Eph. 6: 10-20). While I would be the first to say I'm an "odd bird", I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who needs to reminded of these truths.
I'm doing a great bible study by Angela Thomas right now, as are many of you. (2 groups in our church). Today's lesson was on the Accuser, Satan, the devil, whatever you wish to call him. While I never want to give him more credit than he deserves, we do know some things about him.
Satan.........spotlights our sin and keeps reminding us of it.....tries to make us feel confused....keeps us wounded with repetitive lies...reminds us what the world says...disappoints us with cheap imitations...and never, never stops trying to trip us up. God, on the other hand, forgives sin we repent of and remembers no more...wants to make our paths clear...heals wounds and replaces lies with truth...reminds us of His promises to us....rewards with great blessings....and never, never stops providing us abundant strength to resist the enemy.
What a reminder Angela Thomas' words were to me today. I pray they're a reminder to you. God's grace is sufficient for you (2 Cor. 12:9), and enough for whatever you need.
